Lemon Bars
I have always wanted to try making my own lemon bars, and these did not disappoint! Tart and lemony, they're the perfect start to the warm weather coming our way. I think I'm crushing hard on lemons lately, I can't get enough! Luckily my friend has a lemon tree and she is very generous so I'm going to enjoy it. :D
Lemon Bars
adapted from Make it Do
2 cups flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup butter
2-3 tbsp milk
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Mix above dry ingredients with a pastry cutter until well blended, add milk, and mix until it comes together. Press into pan and cook for 25-30 minutes until slightly golden brown. While crust is cooking make the lemon later:
4 eggs
pinch of salt
4 tbsp flour
2 cups sugar
2 lemons zest and juice
In a medium bowl, beat eggs with salt. Mix in rest of ingredients. Pour over hot crust and bake for another 25 minutes.
Cool and dust with powdered sugar.
Making these right now!
