Sweet Lemon Bars


I have been on the hunt to find and bake really good lemon bars and I have finally done so with the help of Paula Dean's recipe! The ingredients for the crust are: 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of sugar, pinch salt, and 2 sticks of butter. The ingredients for the filling are: 4 eggs, 2 cups of sugar, 6 tablespoons of flour, and 6 tablespoons of lemon juice (I prefer fresh). Now to get started just preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease the pan. Then combine all the ingredients for the crust and press the mix into the pan and cook for 20 minutes. While this is baking, mix the ingredients for the filling and wait until the crust is done.

Pour the filling on top of the baked crust inside the pan. Once you have finished this, put the pan in the oven at 350 degrees for 25 minutes longer.

When it is out of the oven, sprinkle the tiniest bit of powdered sugar over the top of the lemon bars for a sweet touch to it. Now I suggest putting it in the fridge for at least 2 hours for the bars to be not as mushy as when they came out of the oven.


Some people may want to make fun shapes out of the cute desserts to bring out their inner child!
Bon Appetit!
