SUNSHINE "LEMON BARS" RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Note: I like to double the ingredients, and bake this in a 9x13 baking pan; otherwise use an 8" square baking pan. Prepare your baking pan with non-stick spray. I like to make a parchment paper "sling", which I clamp down with small metal binder clips (great tip). Crust: Mix butter, flour and powdered sugar until fine and crumbly, pat into bottom of a 9 inch square pan. (Tip: I pulse the crust ingredients in my food processor, which makes the job quick and easy.) Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes. Filling: Sift the sugar, flour and baking powder. Mix the lemon juice, grated peel, sugar, flour, baking powder and eggs and pour over the baked crust. Place in a 350°F oven and bake for 25 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes. If using a sling, lift out of the pan and cut the bars into about 24 cookies. Dust with powdered sugar and serve. Store in an airtight container.
