Lemon Bars

  "My Mom knows how much my husband loves these lemon bars so she made them for his birthday treat this year and of course I had to help him eat them (wink, wink)!"   

 

Crust

1 cup butter, softened

dash of salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)

1/2 cup powdered sugar

2 cups flour

 

Combine butter, salt, powdered sugar and flour and press into the bottom of a well greased 13x9 pan (You can grease pan with shortening or spray with non-stick cooking spray.)  Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.  Allow crust to cool slightly and then cover with lemon filling. 

 

Lemon Filling

4 eggs, beaten

2 cups sugar

1/4 cup flour

6 Tablespoons lemon juice

 

Mix together eggs, sugar, flour and lemon juice and pour over slightly cooled crust.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.  Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.  Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut into bars.
