Using a pastry blender, 2 knives, or your fingertips, cut in the butter until the mixture is the size of small peas. Using your fingers, press the mixture into the bottom of the pan and 3/4 inch up the sides to avoid leaking during baking. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F.

6 large eggs
3 cups sugar
Stir in:
grated zest of 1 lemon
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Sift over the top and stir in until well blended and smooth:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Pour the batter over the baked crust. Bake until set, about 35 minutes. Remove the pan to a rack and cool completely before cutting into bars.

    Unbelievably lemony for those of us who can indulge on occasion and a good way to use up lemons. - 1/31/12
