Lemon Bars

Another recipe from my fellow nestie, JoJo!.  I've made this one multiple times and they are always devoured!  They are excellent and I was never very fond of lemon bars myself!

-2 cups sifted all purpose floud
-1 cup confectioner's sugar
-1 cup butter (melted)
-4 eggs
-2 cups white sugar
-1 teaspoon baking powder
-1/4 cup all purpose flour
-5/8 cup lemon juice

1. Preheat oven to 350. grease 9x13 pan.

2. In a medium bowl, stir together 2 cups of flour and confectioner's sugar. Blend in the melted butter. Press into bottom of pan.

3. Bake in the oven for 15-25 minutes or until golden brown. 

 

4. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat eggs until light. Combine the sugar, baking powder, 1/4 cup flour so there will be no lumps. Stir the mixture into the eggs. Finally, stir in the lemon juice. (mixture will be very liquid-y, do not worry) Pour over prepared crust and return to the oven.

4. Bake for additional 30 min or until bars are set. Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.

I sprinkled powdered sugar when they were in the pan & then cut them.
