    Mix together until crumbly:
    2 Cups Sifted Flour
    1 Cup Margarine
    1/2 Cup Confectioners Sugar
    
    Press into a greased 10X13" pan & bake @350 degrees for 15 minutes or
    golden in color.
    
    In a small bowl, sift together & set aside:
    4 Tablespoons Flour
    1/2 Teaspoon Salt
    2 Teaspoons Confectioners Sugar
    
    In a larger bowl, whisk together:
    6 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
    1-1/2 Cup Sugar
    4 Eggs
    1 Lemon or Orange Rind, grated
    
    Add the flour mixture to the egg & lemon mixture and beat with a whisk. 
    Pour over baked crust and bake again for 15-20 minutes until lemon
    custard is done (test with a toothpick).  Cool completely in the pan
    before cutting into 2X2" squares.  Sprinkle with sifted confectioners
    sugar.  Cover tightly with plastic wrap.  Refrigerate if keeping for
    more than 2 days.  Sprinkle with additional confectioners sugar before
    serving on the second day (if there are any left)!.
    
    Enjoy!
