Mary’s Lemon Bars
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
-
In a medium bowl, cream together butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 2 cups flour until well blended. Press into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
-
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and golden. In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/4 cup flour. Whisk in the eggs and lemon juice. Pour over the baked crust.
-
Bake for an additional 20 minutes in the preheated oven. The bars will firm up as they cool. For a festive tray, make another pan using limes instead of lemons and adding a drop of green food coloring to give a very pale green. After both pans have cooled, cut into uniform 2-inch squares and arrange in a checker board fashion.
