Every Husbands Favorite Lemon Bars - By Jake

One of my favorite things are Lemon Bars.  I know, I don't seem like the baking type.  All of you

who read this blog, know that my wife loves to bake.  I am not sure if this is the best recipe, just found one as a hint!  Whatever the recipe that my wife bakes, are amazing.  :)

So, I am hijacking this blog to drop a hint.

Lemon Bars are a Fave!

Ingredients  Yield: 9 servings.
For the Crust

•     1 cup all-purpose flour
•     1/2 cup butter, softened
•     1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Filling

•     2 eggs
•     1 cup sugar
•     2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
•     1/2 teaspoon baking powder
•     2 tablespoons lemon juice
•     1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
•     Additional confectioners' sugar

Directions

•     In a bowl, combine the flour, butter and confectioners' sugar. Pat into an ungreased 8-in. square baking pan. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes.
•     For filling, in a small bowl, beat eggs. Add the sugar, flour, baking powder, lemon juice and peel; beat until frothy. Pour over the crust. Bake 25 minutes longer or until light golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Cut into bars or triangles.     

Now, 9 servings is definitely not enough, so you may want to double or triple this recipe.  That will make everyone happy!   Happy - Happy - Happy!
