List of Ingredients




LUSCIOUS LEMON BARS


SHORTBREAD:
3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter, room temp
1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

FILLING:
2 lemons
4 large eggs
1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup all purpose flour

Heat oven to 350ºF. Ungreased 13" X 9" baking pan.

SHORTBREAD CRUST:

In large bowl, using your fingertips, work butter, flour & confectioners' sugar until mixture holds together. Transfer dough to ungreased 13" X 9" pan; press into pan.

Bake 20 mins until edges begin to brown.

LEMON FILLING: (while shortbread crust bakes)

Wash & dry lemons, then grate rinds using small holes on your grater (you will need 2 tblsps of zest). Slice each lemon in 1/2; squeeze juice into measuring cup until you have 1/3 cup. Remove any seeds.

In large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs & sugar. Whisk in flour. Stir in lemon zest & juice. When shortbread has baked, pour filling over it.

Return pan to oven another 20-25 mins until filling no longer jiggles & edges are lightly brown. (Test by inserting a knife in middle.) Cool; dust with confectioners' sugar. Refrigerate any leftovers.
