1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
1/2 cup minced crystallized ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 cups plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

In a bowl with an electric mixer cream the butter, add 1/3 cup of the confectioner's sugar, sifted, and beat the mixture until it is light and fluffy.  Beat in 1/2 teaspoon of the zest, the crystallized ginger, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt, add 1 1/2 cups of the flour in batches, beating, and beat the mixture until it is combined well. Spread the batter evenly in a 13-by-9-inch baking pan and bake it in the middle of a preheated 350-degree F. oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until it is browned lightly around the edges.
While the crust is baking, in a bowl whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon zest, and the lemon juice, add the remaining 3 tablespoons flour, the baking powder, and salt, and whisk the mixture until it is well combined well. Pour the lemon mixture over the crust, bake the mixture in the 350-degree F. oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and sift the remaining 3 tablespoons confectioner's sugar over the top.  Let the mixture cool in the pan on a rack and cut it into 36 bars.
