Lemony Lemon Squares

We are believers of strong flavors, these squares do not taste "yellow" like they might be lemon, they taste like lemon. The secret is lots of lemon zest.

16
1 cup butter, softened
2 1/4 cups flour, divided
1/2 cup powdered sugar
dash of salt
2 cups sugar
4 eggs, well beaten
1/3 cup lemon juice*
1 tsp grated lemon zest*

*I usually use two small lemons, the juice is usually pretty spot on, and I just zest them both and use it all.
Combine 2 cups flour, butter, powdered sugar and salt, mixing well. Pat into a 9" x 13" x 2" pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Do not over bake. Meanwhile prepare filling...
