Ingredients

Crust

1/2 cup butter-Room Temperature

1/4 cup sugar

1 1/2 cup flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

Filling

1 cup fresh lemon juice (Took me about 7 lemons)

Zest of about 5 lemons

3/4 cup strawberries

1 1/4 cups sugar

4 eggs

1/4 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder 

1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper with it the edges hanging over so you can pick the bars out of the pan. Spray with cooking spray. 

In a mixer combine butter and sugar together until fluffy. 

Add flour and salt and mix until crumbly. Pat the mixture with your hands into the prepared pan. Spread into an even layer and press into pan. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown. While the crust is baking make the filling. Add all ingredients for the filing into a food processor or blender and combine until smooth. Pour the mixture over the hot crust and bake for 25 minutes. Until the top is slightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Lift the bars out of the pan with the parchment overhang. Cut into pieces and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
