Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. In a bowl, mix 1 cup flour and 1/4 cup sugar.

4. Pat into the bottom of an ungreased 9 x 9 x 2" baking pan.

7. Pour batter over crust, spreading evenly to edges of pan.
8. Bake for 35 minutes or until nearly firm when shaken.
9. Cool in pan on wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar when cool.
