Here is a recipe from Taste of Home on how to make lemon bars. I re-wrote the recipe the way I like to follow it.

Lemon Bar Crust Ingredients:

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar

Lemon Bar Filling Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 TBS flour
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• Juice of a whole lemon (or 2 TBS, whatever is more)
• Zest of a whole lemon
• Confectioners’ sugar for sprinkling

Lemon Bar Recipe:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
• In a bowl, combine 1 cup flour and 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
• Dice up the 1/2 cup softened butter and rug the butter into the mixture until crumbs form
• Pat into an un-greased pan
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 mins
• While that bakes, get started on the filling
• Beat 2 eggs in a bowl
• Then add 1 cup sugar, 2 TBS flour, 1/4 tsp baking soda, juice of one lemon, and zest of one lemon and beat until frothy
• Pour over crust and bake at 350 degrees F for another 25 mins, or until light golden brown (shouldn’t wobble too much)
• Once cool, dust with confectioners’ sugar

Enjoy! 🙂 ❤ xoxoxo
