Instructions
To make the crust, cream together butter and sugar until pale yellow. Add flour and mix until a crumbly ball forms.
Press the dough into the bottom of a lightly greased square 8x8 pan.
Bake in a 350 preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges.
While the crust is baking make the filling by beating eggs, lemon juice, sugar, flour, and raspberry pureé together in a large bowl.
Let sit while crust finishes baking and then give it another quick whisk right before pouring it into the pan.
When the crust has finished baking pour the mixture over HOT crust and bake for another 20-25 minutes or until just set.
Allow to cool for several hours (overnight is best) before removing from the pan, slicing into bars, and dusting with powdered sugar.
