Mom's Lemon Bars image

These are the best lemon bars I've ever had. The key to these is the butter/shortening combo in the crust, you must use both, do not substitute one for the other.

Time 1h

Yield 20 bars, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
4 tablespoons flour
5 -6 tablespoons lemon juice
powdered sugar, to top

Steps:

  • Mix the first 4 ingredients and press into the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
  • Bake at 350F for 20 minutes.
  • Mix the next 4 ingredients, my mom always uses a little more lemon juice than is called for. Remove pan from oven and pour filling over the top.

  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar when they come out of the oven, cool.
  • Cut into squares and serve.
