Preheat oven to 350℉.
In a mixing bowl (or in a stand mixer or food processor), combine the flour, butter and powdered sugar.
1 cup flour, 1/2 cup butter, 1/3 cup powdered sugar
Press into the bottom and about 1/2 inch up the sides of a square baking dish.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are a light golden brown.
Meanwhile, make the pineapple filling.
Add all of the filling ingredients to a food processor or blender.
1 cup sugar, 1 cup diced pineapple, 3 tablespoons flour, 2 eggs, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt
Blend until smooth and frothy.
Pour into the hot crust.
Bake an additional 20-25 minutes or until the top is a light golden brown and the center is no longer jiggly.
Let the bars cool completely (utilize the fridge to speed this up!).
Dust with powdered sugar, cut into squares and enjoy!
