The Best Lemon Bars

(recipe from allrecipes.com by Patty Schenck)
I can't eat Lemon Bars...they are WAY too sweet for me. BUT, I have a husband who has a HORRIBLE sweet tooth and sometimes begs me to make these for him...so it does need to be included in my recipe collection. This recipe does turn out good, got good reviews from everyone who tried it, so if you need to make lemon bars (or lime for that matter)...here you go:

Ingredients:
crust
1 cup butter
1/2 cup white sugar
2 cups flour
dash of salt

topping
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/4 cup flour
2 lemons, juiced (a little over 1/3 cup. I use bottled)

Directions:
Preheat to 350. mix softened butter, 2 c flour and 1/2 cup sugar and salt. press into bottom of 9x13 pan. (If you like thicker crust, use 9x11 or something.) Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until firm and golden.
Mix together the rest of sugar and flour. Whisk in eggs and lemon juice. Pour over baked crust. Bake for an additional 20 minutes in preheated oven.  Bars will firm up as they cool.
