It's still Sunday,
Day 13.
And I'm making one of my favorites -
Luscious Lemon Bars.
Or squares, in my case.
Crust ingredients:
1 cup flour
1 stick butter, softened
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
Mix flour and sugar.
Cut in butter with a pastry blender.
Press into a buttered 8" square pan.
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
While the crumb crust bakes,
make the lemon topping.
I added the softened butter to the flour/sugar mixture
with my pastry blender,
working a bit of butter at a time.
Use plastic wrap over top
and press to even the dough.
My mini-rolling pin is getting quite the workout.
Brycer would be jealous.
While the crust bakes,
making the lemon topping.
Lemon Topping
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
3 TB flour
3 TB lemon juice
1/2 tsp baking powder
grated rind of 1 lemon
Blend all ingredients together
and pour over the baked crust.
Bake for an additional 25 minutes.
Let cool.
Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar
and cut into bars.
Or squares.
Enjoy!
