Lemon Bars

By RebeccaCampbell

Ingredients

• CRUST:
• Lemon Bars
• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
• Pinch salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks butter), room temperature
• FILLING:
• 4 eggs
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons flour
• 6 tablespoons lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13x9x2 inch pan. Make the crust. Combine the flour, confectioner’s sugar and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter to make a crumbly mixture. Press into the prepared pan. You may need to dip your fingers into a little flour or confectioner’s sugar to keep the dough from sticking to your fingers. Bake for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, make the filling: mix eggs, granulated sugar, flour and lemon juice. Pour this over the baked crust and bake for 25 minutes longer. Sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar, if desired when bars are cooled.
