These bars never stay around long, as soon as I get them cut they disappear! The lemon flavor is not that intense, but if you would like it to be, add about a tablespoon of lemon zest to the filling mixture before pouring on top of baked crust. Then bake as directed.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

CRUST
2 c all purpose flour
1 c confectioners' sugar (powdered)
a pinch salt
1 c butter, room temperature
FILLING
6 Tbsp all purpose flour
2 c sugar
4 large eggs
6 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (or bottled works too)
1 Tbsp lemon zest, grated (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Perheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13x9x2 inch baking pan. (non stick spray works great)
  • 2. Combine the flour, confectioner's sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter to make it a crumbly mixture. Press the mixture in the prepared pan, ( you may need to dust your hands with flour or confectioner's sugar to keep the dough from sticking to your fingers) and bake the crust for 20 minutes.
  • 3. Meanwhile, mix up the filling: Mix the flour and sugar together in a large bowl, then add the eggs and lemon juice and zest (if desired). Stir with a whisk until well combined. Pour this over the crust (when it comes out of the oven) and return it to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
  • 4. Let cool and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar and then cut into bars, enjoy!
