Lemon Bars

I made these Luscious Lemon Bars last night for one of the many desserts for Super Bowl Sunday!!!!

Easy and oh so tasty!!!!

Mimi's Luscious Lemon Bars


2 1/4 cups all purpose flour, divided
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup cold butter, cut into pieces
4 large eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice - (I used 1/2 cup)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Powdered Sugar

Preheat oven to 350.  Line bottom and sides of a 13 x 9 inch pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil.

Stir together 2 cups flour and 1/2 cup powdered sugar.  Cut in butter using a pastry blender until crumbly.  Press mixture onto bottom of prepared pan.

Bake at 350 for 20 - 25 minutes or until lightly browned.

Meanwhile, whisk eggs in a large bowl until smooth; whisk in granulated sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice.  Stir together baking powder and remaining 1/4 cup flour, whisk into egg mixture.  Pour mixture over hot baked crust.

Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until filling is set.  Let cool in pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes.  Lift from pan, using foil sides as handles.  Cool completely on a wire rack.  Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

The crust was crispy and the filling was warm and lemony....  

Oh so GOOD!!!!!

That was dessert.



This was dinner!!!!

  3. The lemon bars look great and so does the soup! I am not a bit fan of lemon, but I do love a good lemon bar! I like the shortbread cookie part!

    I love your aprons too! They are so pretty!
