How to Make FINALLY! LEMON BARS THAT I LOVE! Recipe. Step-by-Step. is perfect for busy families. Comes together quickly with a few staple ingredients!
INGREDIENTS
1 1?2 cups flour, plus 3 tablespoons flour, divided 1?2 cup powdered sugar 3?4 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces (1 1/2 sticks) 1?3 cup lemon juice concentrate, can of course sub fresh 3 large eggs 1 cup sugar 1?2 teaspoon baking powder 1?2 teaspoon salt 1 -4 tablespoon powdered sugar (I used a LOT)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13" x 9" baking pan with foil extending it over the sides a little. Lightly spray foil with butter-flavored cooking spray. In medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour and 1/2 cup powdered sugar. I use a whisk. With pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle dough evenly into bottom of pan. Level, brushing with your hand lightly, then pat dough firmly into bottom. Bake 15-17 minutes until lightly browned. Meanwhile, in large mixer, beat eggs on high speed until thick and lemon-colored, about 3-4 minutes. Reduce speed to low, add lemon juice, sugar, baking powder, salt, and remaining 3 Tbl. flour. Beat until blended, scraping sides and bottom of bowl occaisionally. Pour filling over warm crust. Bake 15 minutes, or until filling is just set and golden around the edges. Transfer pan to wire rack. Sift powdered sugar (1 Tbl.-1/4 cup) on top over warm filling. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. When cool, lift out holding on to foil, and transfer whole thing to a cutting board or surface. When cool, cut into bars. Makes 24-36 bars.
