Luscious Lemon Bars
These are a great, cool treat on a hot summer night after the barbeque! Easy to make, minimal time in the oven, and a great, zingy taste to clear the ol’ palate. Enjoy!
Prep: 15 minutes. Cook: 40 minutes. Ready to Serve: 55 minutes.
Ingredients for the Crust:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated (white) sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
Ingredients for the Filling:
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups granulated (white) sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2–4 lemons, juiced (depending on how “tangy” you like it)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, blend together softened butter, 2 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar. Press into the bottom of a greased 9×13 pan (I use good ol’ butter). Bake for 15–20 minutes until firm and golden. Let it cool while you make your filling.
- In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/4 cup flour. Whisk in the eggs and lemon juice. Pour over the baked crust.
- Bake for an additional 20 minutes. After the pan has cooled, sprinkle generously with powdered sugar. Cut into uniform 2-inch squares. Enjoy!

I have done every step in this recipe. I hope I've done these right. I had my doubts but "well done" Michelle, good recipe. I would use powdered lemon juice to tang it up. That's the only improvement I would add on this recipe. I love it!
