Lemon Bars

Finals are over and spring term has started.  And I sort of have more time. :)  Here is another recipe from the day Bella was blessed.

LEMON BARS

From a classmate in SFL 110; we used this for our final project in the class.

1 c. butter or margarine

dash of salt

1/2 c. sugar

2 c. flour

Mix above ingredients and press into a 9" x 13" pan.  Bake at 350˚ for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

4 beaten eggs

¼ c. flour 

2 c. sugar

5-8 T. lemon juice (lean toward 8 T, but add to taste) 

Mix above ingredients and pour on crust.  Bake at 350˚ for 25 minutes.  Sprinkle with sifted* powdered sugar after it has cooled a little bit.  

Cut into small pieces because they are rich and full of flavor!

*Sifting: scatter or sprinkle over the top using a sieve or sifter. (If you don't have a sifter or a sieve, you can sprinkle the powdered sugar over the top by hand.  Sifting creates a more even distribution and 'prettier' look.)
