Gluten-Free Lemon Bars

• 1 stick unsalted butter
• 1 cup lentil flour (sold in Indian stores as besan)
• 1/2 cup confectioner sugar, divided
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• juice of 1 or 2 lemons, depending on how sour you like them

1. Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
2. Melt butter.
3. Place melted butter, lentil flour, and 1/4 cup confectioner sugar in a bowl. Stir until mixed.
4. Press into a 9x9 baking dish.
5. Bake for 20 minutes.
6. While it bakes, place eggs, white sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon juice in a bowl and whisk until frothy.
7. When the crust is done baking, pour the liquid over it and return to the oven for another 20 minutes.
8. Allow to cool completely, then shake the remaining confectioner sugar over the bars with a sieve.
9. Slice and serve. I like to use a pizza cutter and wipe it off with a paper towel between cuts.
   
   My kids actually like these lemon bars even more than the standard flour gluten-full ones! The lentil flour makes a beautifully yellow crust.
