Lemon Drifts

The other day, I looked through my cookbooks for a new recipe, and I found this one. It is a lemon bar recipe. I have another recipe for lemon bars, but I like this one much better. They turned out a lot tastier. This recipe is from my "Where's Mom Now That I Need Her" book. This book is great, because not only does it have recipes, but it has tips on cleaning, first aid, and hygiene.

Lemon Drifts

1 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 cups flour
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cups lemon juice
5 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Beat butter, powdered sugar and two cups flour together until smooth. Spread into greased 9x13 pan. Bake for 20 minutes. Beat together eggs, granulated sugar, lemon juice, five tablespoons flour and baking powder until well blended. The mixture will be thin. Pour over top of baked crust. Continue baking for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cool and cut into bars.
