(Lemon bars made by me)
Look at this glorious creation. Tangy, sweet and throw some powdered sugar and you got yourself an amazing dessert. I'll share with you a fantastic lemon bar recipe I got from my aunt to make this delicious delicacy.
The Best Lemon Bars You'll Ever Make
For the Crust:1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
-In a medium bowl, mix the butter, flour and sugar together until its the consistency of cookie dough. -Press into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and golden.
For the filling:
6 eggs
2 1/4cups white sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 lemons, juiced
Some lemon juice (optional- if you want your bars to be a bit more on the tangy side)
While the crust is baking:
-Zest 2 of the lemons in a mixing bowl.
-Add the sugar and flour and whisk together until evenly incorporated.
-Juice all 3 of the lemons and add juice to the bowl.
-Add the eggs and whisk everything together until smooth. Add optional lemon juice.
-Once the crust is golden brown, pour the filling mixture over the hot crust and return to the oven for an additional 20 minutes.
-Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
-Sprinkle with powder sugar just before you cut and serve.
Violá! You just made yourself some rad lemon bars.
