# Steps to Follow:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
02 - Combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold, cubed butter with a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
03 - Press mixture evenly into the pan bottom. Bake 15 to 18 minutes until lightly golden.
04 - Whisk granulated sugar and eggs until smooth. Add flour, baking powder, salt, lemon juice, and zest; whisk until combined.
05 - Pour lemon filling over hot crust immediately. Return pan to oven; bake 18 to 20 minutes until filling is set and slightly jiggly in the center.
06 - Remove from oven and cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
07 - Lift bars out using parchment overhang. Dust with powdered sugar. Cut into 8 squares, then diagonally to form 16 triangles.
