Time 1h10m

Yield 28 bars

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups flour
2/3 cup powdered sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 tablespoons flour
3/4 teaspoon powdered ginger
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/2 cup lemon juice
3 eggs, beaten
4 -5 teaspoons lemon juice
1 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*. Combine all the crust ingredients (except butter) in a bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture is coarse and lumpy. Set aside about 1 cup of the crust mixture. Pat the remaining crust mixture into a greased 9x13 baking pan. Bake 15-20 minutes until golden. Remove from oven, but leave the oven on.
  • Prepare the filling: combine the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl whisk together the zest, lemon juice and eggs. Whisk the wet and dry together until well blended.
  • Pour the filling over the warm crust. Sprinkle the remaining crust mixture over the top and bake for 25 minutes. Let cool.
  • Prepare the glaze by mixing the lemon juice, zest and powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle over the bars.
