The Best Lemon Bars
Ingredients
-
1 cup butter, softened
-
1/2 cup white sugar
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
-
4 eggs
-
1 1/2 cups white sugar
-
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
-
2 lemons, juiced
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
In a medium bowl, blend together softened butter, 2
cups flour and 1/2 cup sugar. Press into the bottom of an ungreased
9x13 inch pan.
-
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or
until firm and golden. In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1
1/2 cups sugar and 1/4 cup flour. Whisk in the eggs and lemon juice.
Pour over the baked crust.
-
Bake for an additional 20 minutes in the preheated
oven. The bars will firm up as they cool. For a festive tray, make
another pan using limes instead of lemons and adding a drop of green
food coloring to give a very pale green. After both pans have cooled,
cut into uniform 2 inch squares and arrange in a checker board fashion.
