Filling 

(this is a double recipe for filling since I didn't find it to be enough, feel free to cut the below in half for traditional bars)

·         1 cup (5 1/4 ounces) granulated sugar

·         2 large egg plus 2 large egg white

·         4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

·         1/4 teaspoon salt

·         2 tablespoon grated lemon zest plus 12 tablespoons juice (about 3 lemons)

·         2 tablespoon confectioners' sugar to sprinkle on top

Whisk Sugar, Eggs, flour and salt in bowl until smooth.  Stir in lemon juice and zest.

Pour over cooled crust and bake 15-20 minutes at 325degrees until set

Cool in pan on wire rack for 1 hour or until completely cooled

Dust with confectioners’ sugar

By far the best Lemon bars I have had AND only 3g fat per 2 inch square!
