My Favorite Lemon Bars

I used to love eating other peoples Lemon Bars, but they were never very yummy when I made them.  After loosing my recipe, I found this one at allrecipies.com, (I've tweeked it a bit.)  Now I realize that the problem with my Lemon Bars was the recipe and not the cook!  These are yummy!

Crust
1 cup butter, softened
½ cup white sugar
2 cups flour

Filling
1 ½ cups sugar
¼ cup flour
4 eggs
2 lemons juiced (or about 6 Tablespoons lemon juice)

1. Preheat oven to 350 F
2. In a medium bowl., blend together softened butter, 2 cups flour and ½ cup sugar.
3. Press into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan.
4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until firm and golden.
5. In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 ½ cups sugar and ¼ cup flour. 
6. Whisk in the eggs and lemon juice.  Pour over crust.
7. Bake for 20 minutes.

The bars will firm up as they cool.
Try using limes instead of lemons.  (Add a drop of green food coloring for color)
