Lemon Pie Bars

By á-47

You can double the filling and have a really yummy/lemonny dessert.
Zest a whole lemon to make them really tangy (don't add more lemon juice, it makes it too runny).

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 1 Tbsp. lemon zest

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix 2 cups of the flour and confectioners' sugar together. Cut in the butter or margarine. Mix well until the dough resembles pie dough consistency. Press the dough into a 9x13 baking pan.

Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Beat together eggs, sugar, 4 Tbsp. flour, lemon juice, and lemon zest for at least 1 minute. Pour the mixture over the baked crust.

Bake the bars another 20 minutes or until the lemon topping has set. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar when cooled.
