My Mom’s Lemon Bars are Better Than Your Mom’s Lemon Bars

..tiffany..'s Note:

Lemon bars from the kitchen of my mommy.

• Total Time: 48 mins
• Prep Time: 8 mins
• Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 25

Crust

• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup melted butter
• ½ cup powdered sugar

Filling

• 4 well-beaten eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 ¾ cups sugar
• 6 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4 tablespoons flour

Directions:

1. Mix crust ingredients together.
2. Pat mixture into a 9x13-inch pan.
3. Bake 20 minutes at 350°F.
4. While crust is baking, combine these filling ingredients first: beaten eggs, sugar, and lemon juice.
5. Gradually add flour and baking powder to the mixture.
6. Mix well until "frothy".
7. Immediately after taking crust out of oven, pour in filling.
8. Bake 20-25 minutes at 350°F
9. Tip: Watch filling at 20 minutes – it should turn a little brown spotted on top, but not a lot.
10. Sprinkle with powdered sugar when cool.

I love your Mom's recipe. I follow it to a tee, except I leave crust in oven maybe about 10 minutes longer for more browner crust! Other than that, it is perfect, and I am making them yet again for our family Christmas party 2010. Thank for sharing!

We are not huge lemon fans but this is so light and the crust is to die for! My daughter, a true chocolate fan, requests these again and again!

Wow! That was easy :) And delish, thanks. Added lemon rind and about three extra tbsp juice, very lemony.
