Directions
In food processor or mixer bowl, combine flour, sugar and cornstarch for pastry.
Add butter and process (or mix) until dough holds together.
Divide into thirds. Roll out two-thirds of dough on a baking sheet to reach all corners evenly.
Prick with fork.
Bake in 350℉ (180℃). oven for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, roll out remaining dough between sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper to a rectangle about half the size of baking sheet.
Cut into long strips about ¼ inch wide.
Combine eggs, brown sugar, juices, lemon peel and vanilla for filling in processor or mixer bowl.
Blend well.
Process until evenly minced. Spread filling over baked pastry; top with strips of dough, crisscrossing diagonally.
Return to oven and bake for 30 minutes, until pastry strips are lightly browned.
Cool. Cut into small bars.
