Lemon Bars are a favorite at parties, teas, bake sales, or just as family treats. This is an easy to make recipe that turns out tasting like you spent hours in the kitchen. People will beg you to share you secret with them so they can get compliments, too.

Ingredients:

  • 200g of All Purpose Flour
  • 80g Confectioners’ Sugar
  • 170g Butter or Margarine, softened
  • 3 eggs
  • 300gs White Sugar
  • 25gs All Purpose Flour
  • 60ml of Lemon Juice – Fresh squeezed works best
  • 40g Confectioners’ Sugar – Used for Decoration

Procedure:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F or 190 degrees C. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, 80gs Confectioners’ sugar, and the butter. Press the dough into the greased pan. Bake this for 20 minutes or until slightly golden in color. While the crust is baking, combine the eggs, white sugar, flour, and lemon juice and whisk together until the mixture is frothy. Remove baked crust from the oven and pour lemon mixture over the hot crust. Put all back into the oven and bake for another 20 – 25 minutes, or until it’s a light golden brown. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Sprinkle confectioners’ sugar over the top of the lemon bars. Cut into squares and serve.
