Sweet, slightly tart filling is baked over a buttery shortbread crust.
This is another recipe Mom would whip up for Christmas. I don't know how many times my siblings and I snuck down stairs, to eat them right out of the freezer, LOL. They are better thawed, but when you love something so much, who can wait until Christmas Eve??
These are really delicious. Slightly sweet, with a nice tart filling. The crust is flaky, the filling gooey. What's not to love???
Lemon Bars
Crust:
2 C flour
1/2 C powdered sugar
1 C margarine
Filling:
4 eggs
2 C sugar
1/3 C lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1/4 C flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
For Crust: Combine 2 C flour, with powdered sugar. Cut in margarine, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into an 8x13 inch baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until edges begin to brown slightly.
For Filling: Beat eggs with sugar, lemon zest and juice, flour and baking powder, until thoroughly combined.
Once crust has baked for 20-25 minutes, pour filling over crust and return to the oven, for 25 minutes longer, or until filling is set. Remove from oven and sprinkle with additional powdered sugar. Cool completely, before cutting into bars.
