Honey Lemon Bars

Found this recipe while looking for a way to use up the six pounds of honey that attacked me at Costco and wrestled their way into my cart.

Crust:
1 cup flour
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 stick butter

Mix flour and sugar. Cut in butter until coarse crumbs form. Pat into the bottom of an 8x8 pan and bake for 12 minutes in a 350F oven.

Filling:
3/4 cup honey
2 eggs
2 tbsp flour
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon rind
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

While crust is baking, whisk together honey and eggs. Add rest of ingredients and whisk well. (The salt I used was too coarse and didn't dissolve.) Pour over baked crust and put back in the 350F oven for about 25-30 minutes or until filling is set.

Next time I'm going to put it in the oven a little longer at a little lower temperature. In my oven the edges and top of this got rather too caramelized and chewy while the filling was still too runny. Tasted great anyway. The honey makes this much more interesting than the usual plain sugary lemon bars. I also used lavender salt, which gave these a barely-perceptible boost. The chief taster agrees: they're good!
