Lemon Bars Recipe

20

Ingredients

For the crust:
2 cups flour
1 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup powdered sugar
For the filling:
4 eggs, well beaten
2 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice (about the juice of one lemon)
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix all the crust ingredients in a bowl. Press crust into a greased 9-inch-by-13-inch pan. Make sure the edges are higher than the center so the crust contains the filling.

Bake the crust for 20 minutes or until it begins to brown.

In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, sugar and lemon juice and mix well.

Stir in the flour and baking powder. Pour the lemon mixture into the baked crust, and then bake for 20 minutes, again at 350 degrees. The bars will be done when they are firm to touch.

Cut into 20 bars and dust with powdered sugar.
