...bake it! That is exactly what I did. The recipe was Lemon Bars, if there is a recipe I will bake let it be Lemon Bars. I love them, whether it is the crunchy soft crust, the gooey lemon filling, or the powdered sugar on top. And knowing that they are one of my Dad's favorite recipes, you gotta make them. A shout out to my good friend Miss Jocelyn for the super recipe - I know why it is your favorite recipe to bake!
See, there is that ooey gooey delicious filling..
"Lemon Bars"
2 1/4 c. sifted flour
1/2 c. sifted powdered sugar
1 c. butter
4 eggs beaten
2 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. baking powder
Directions: Sift together 2 cups of the flour and the powdered sugar. Cut in butter until mixture clings together. Press mixture into a greased 9x13 inch glass baking dish. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until lightly brown. Beat together eggs, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Sift together 1/4 c. flour and baking powder. Stir into egg mixture. Pour over baked crust. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes more. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, cool, and cut into bars.
My next post will be some really cute ideas for 4th of July baking!
