Very Lemon Extra Tangy Lemon Bars image

I have created this recipe, using a variety of other recipes for a base and then changing many things to meet my intense lemon craving! These go together very quickly and they are very tangy, on the too-tangy side of wonderful almost. If you lovelovelove tangy lemon and want a nice crisp crust with a higher ratio of lemon to crust, please try this recipe and tell me what you think!

Time 50m

Yield 1 9x13 pan, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1/3 cup brown sugar or 1/3 cup Splenda brown sugar blend
1/4 cup sliced almonds
2 cups flour (no more!)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2-1 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 eggs (large)
1 cup lemon juice
icing sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Using a food processor, pulse cold margerine or butter, brown sugar, almonds, flour, and salt until it is blended together and has a sandy appearance.
  • Pat crust into a 9x13 pan (i give it a spray to keep everything from sticking and prefer to use a glass pan). It may seem very dry, but that is ok.
  • Bake crust for 20 minutes or until edges are just starting to turn golden.
  • Beat your eggs with a fork or whisk, then stir in lemon juice. In another bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. I use 1.5 cups sugar and they are very zingy. If you have any doubts, or know that you prefer slightly less zing, try 1.75 cups of sugar!
  • Remove crust from oven and reduce heat to 320°F This step is important!
  • mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Pour mixture on hot crust, and return to oven for 22 minutes, or until filling has set. It might still look a little wobbly in the center, but it will firm up a bit while it cools.
  • Cool, dust with icing sugar (You will need it if you used the lesser amount of sugar!).
  • Pucker up! :D.
