Lemon Bars

For the Crust:

3/4 C. Butter

1 ½  C. Flour

½ C. Powdered Sugar

¼ tsp Salt

For the Filling:

7 Eggs

¼ tsp Salt

½  C. Flour

1 ½  C. Sugar

1 C. Lemon Juice

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease your 9×13 pan. You for sure want a full pan of this lemony goodness. 

Melt the butter and then let it brown lightly. That just means keep it cooking until it’s a golden color. Watch it though, it does like to burn now and again. 

Pour into a mixer bowl with powdered sugar, flour and salt. Mix until it comes together like a playdoh consistency. No more floury spots. 

Press into the pan. 

Bake 20 minutes. Rotate the pan if you need to to get an even, golden crust. 

For the filling, whisk eggs and salt in a large bowl, then add flour and sugar. Add lemon juice and stir until combined. 

Reduce the oven temp to 300°F. Pour the filling into the crust and return to the oven to finish baking 30-40 minutes. The middle should be set, though it’s ok if it’s slightly jiggly. 

Slightly jiggly is good. 

Once done baking, let cool all the way on a cooling rack before cutting. These are best when they’ve refrigerated for a couple of hours. Try to restrain yourself, it’s worth it. 

Sprinkle with powdered sugar right before serving.
