On Sunday nights around here we always make some kind of treat. We usually eat half and bring the rest to one of the neighbors. The treat almost always involves chocolate...or caramel. Last week Trent asked me if he could make something that didn't contain chocolate. Yeah, I know....I don't know where he came from. He wanted to find his own recipe online and make it himself. So, here is the recipe he found and made, literally, all by himself.......
Lemon Bars
1 3/4 c. flour
1 c. butter
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. sugar
4 tbsp. flour
4 tbsp. lemon juice
4 eggs, beaten
Mix first 4 ingredients and press into a greased 13 x 9 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes (watch closely so they don't get too brown). Mix next 4 ingredients. Pour over hot crust and bake for 25 minutes more. Dust with powdered sugar. Cool and cut into bars.
So easy a 12-year-old can do it. Just kidding, Trent.
We cut these before they were completely cool, so they were still a little sticky. But, take it from me - they taste great...too great. We didn't share these...sorry friends.
