AUNT ROSE'S LEMON BARS

We all remember this truly prehistoric recipe...everytime we came to Milwaukee, Aunt Rose made these (with oleo) and she always got lots of attention and thanks. Mom copied it from a very old recipe card written by her....

1 c sifted flour
1/4 c confectioners sugar
2 eggs
1 c sugar
2 T flour
1/2 t baking powder

Pour over hot layer. Return to oven. Bake 30 min. Remove from oven, cool and sprinkle with conf sugar. Cut into squares when cool.
