Citrus fruits compliments of my mother in laws fruit trees! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Harrell for coming to Garrett's Eagle Court of Honor, and bringing some much needed California sunshine in the middle of our record breaking snow storm! You guys were real storm troopers! I mixed a few different recipes to come up with, what I think, are perfectly luscious lemon bars.
Luscious Lemon Bars
2 cubes butter (1 cup) soft
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
In mixer attached with beater hook, add ingredients and pulse until well combined. You want the mixture to be sort of crumbly. Sprinkle evenly into a lightly greased 9x13 pan and press firmly .
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
4 eggs
2 cups plus 2 Tb sugar
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 Tb grated lemon zest (3 small lemons)
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
In a mixing bowl beat eggs, sugar, and lemon juice. Add flour, baking soda, and lemon zest, stir to combine. Pour slowly into baked crust. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
Cool in pan on a wire rack. Evenly sift powdered sugar over top. Makes 30 small bars.
