Sunshine "Lemon Bars"
Sunshine "Lemon Bars"
CRUST:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup flour
1/4 cup powdered sugar
FILLING:
Zest of 1 lemon
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs, beaten
Note: I like to double the ingredients, and bake this in a 9x13 baking pan; otherwise use an 8" square baking pan.
Prepare your baking pan with non-stick spray. I like to make a parchment paper "sling", which I clamp down with small metal binder clips (great tip).
Crust:
Mix butter, flour and powdered sugar until fine and crumbly, pat into bottom of a 9 inch square pan. (Tip: I pulse the crust ingredients in my food processor, which makes the job quick and easy.)
Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes.
Filling:
Sift the sugar, flour and baking powder.
Mix the lemon juice, grated peel, sugar, flour, baking powder and eggs and pour over the baked crust.
Place in a 350°F oven and bake for 25 minutes.
Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes. If using a sling, lift out of the pan and cut the bars into about 24 cookies.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
Store in an airtight container.
