Crust:
Combine butter, flour, and confectioners' sugar; blend together until mixture clings together (I use pastry blender). Pat evenly into a 9x9-inch pan. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until edges begin to brown.
Filling:
Beat together eggs, sugar, flour, lemon juice, lemon rind (if you don't use rind, add an extra tablespoon lemon juice), and salt. Pour over partially baked crust. Return to oven and bake 20 minutes longer or until set. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Cool. Cut into squares (small ones for a tea).
Tip: Garnish tray with lemon twist and a sprig of mint. Cool looking.
Variation: To make Apricot-Lemon Squares, add 3/4 cup finely chopped dried apricots (soaked in boiling water and drained) to filling above. Delightful.
