LEMON BARS

I don't know who gave me this recipe.  I remember making it for a "Perrins Family Thanksgiving" in 1975.  I was 7 months pregnant with Seth. Up to this point, I had managed to keep my weight where it should be.  After making this recipe and the combination of Thanksgiving yummy food, I put on at least 30 pounds, I exploded!  You have been warned.

2 cups flour
1 cup soft butter
1 cup powdered sugar
Crumble together with hand mixer, and pat into a 9X12 baking dish.

1 tsp baking powder
