Earl Grey Lemon Shortbread Bars

• crust
• cooking spray
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar
• 2 earl grey tea bags divided
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 8 tablespoons butter chilled, cut into pieces
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
2. CRUST
3. Line an 8-inch square metal baking pan with foil that extends 2 inches over sides; coat foil with cooking spray. Combine flour, powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon tea leaves from 1 tea bag (discard remaining tea in bag), and salt in a bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Press into bottom of prepared pan. Bake at 350u0b0 for 19 minutes or until lightly browned. I noticed the bottom got nice and brown and the top didn't - that is ok.
4. FILLING
5. Place juice in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH for 30 seconds. Add remaining 1 tea bag to juice; cover and steep 10 minutes. Squeeze juice from tea bag into bowl; discard tea bag. Combine granulated sugar, 2 Tablespoons of the flour, and baking powder in a bowl. Add rind and eggs to juice; whisk until combined. Add sugar mixture to juice mixture; whisk until well combined.
6. As soon as you remove the crust from the oven, pour filling onto it.. Bake at 350u0b0 for 23 minutes or until set. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Remove from pan by lifting foil. When the bars are cool, fold back the fold and cut into 16 bars. Sprinkle bars with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar.
