Lemon Bars

I made my father in laws favorite last night, lemon bars. Its been a rough week after hearing that his youngest brother passed away. From him not wanting to talk to anyone, to yakking our ears off since we got here... and he is on his second helping of the bars. John told him he can't have any more, as you haven't had your dinner yet. LOL

Lemon bars


Ingredients

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup butter, melted

4 eggs
2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
5/8 cup lemon juice

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch pan.

2. In a medium bowl, stir together 2 cups flour and confectioners' sugar. Blend in the melted butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.

3. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until golden. In a large bowl, beat eggs until light. Combine the sugar, baking powder and 1/4 cup of flour so there will be no flour lumps. Stir the sugar mixture into the eggs. Finally, stir in the lemon juice. Pour over the prepared crust and return to the oven.

4. Bake for an additional 30 minutes or until bars are set. Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.

Enjoy!
