Lemon Bars






Honestly, who doesn't love a good lemon bar? Especially in the Summer! These hit the spot. The crust is buttery, flaky, crumbly goodness and the lemon has a good tang to sweet ratio. Normally I share what I make with friends, neighbors and family but I was instructed to keep these. I've left them on the stove with a plastic knife in the pan and every time I walk by I notice more and more missing :) Sure the kiddos get some when I cut them a piece but most of it is going in my husband's belly! haha!

My interpretation of the recipe:

Lemon Bars

Cream:
1 cup butter
2 cups flour
½ cup powder sugar

Press in 9x13" pan - halfway up sides and bottom. Bake 20 minutes 350º

Beat 4 eggs; add to eggs 6 Tablespoons lemon juice
Mix: 2 cups sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, 4 Tablespoons flour

Add to egg mixture. Spread on hot crust. Bake 30 minutes at 350º

Sprinkle powder sugar while warm on top.

* I used unsalted butter
* I used 2 decent sized lemons to squeeze out 6T fresh lemon juice

I hope you enjoy and give this recipe a second chance in your kitchen too.
