Lemon Bars
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar (powdered sugar)
1 cup butter (two sticks)
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 Tablespoon lemon zest
1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Mix 2 cups of flour and confectioners' sugar together. Cut in the butter until dough resembles pie dough consistency. Press the dough into a 9X13 pan.
3. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
4. Beat together eggs, sugar, 1/4 cup flour, lemon juice, and lemon zest for at least 2 minutes. Pour over the "straight from the oven and still hot" crust.
5. Return to the oven and bake another 20 minutes or until the lemon topping has set. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar when cooled. Makes 24 small bars.
