Today I sit with a tattered, splattered, invincible recipe that must be at least 25 years old. Each time I pull it out of my recipe file I am touched by rays of spring sunshine! My family is always in pursuit of these delicious jewels when the weather begins to warm and sweet products of lemon, orange, and pineapple fill my dessert tray.
This tried and true recipe will not disappoint you as the combination of buttery crust and velvety lemon filling is like non you've ever tasted. This will definitely be a keeper as I've found no other lemon bar recipe that even comes close!
Crust:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
1 cup butter or margarine
Filling:
4 eggs
1 1/2 cup sugar
6 tab. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. grated lemon peel
4 tab. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
confectioner's sugar
Mix flour and confections sugar. Then cut in butter until mixture resembles small crumbs. Press into 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-13 minutes.
In a bowl, beat eggs and sugar. Add lemon juice, peel, flour, and baking powder. Mix until thick and smooth. Pour mixture onto crust. Bake for 20 25 minutes more. Allow bars to cool. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar. Cut into squares. Store in refrigerator.
