Lemon Bars

Lemon bars are a huge hit to whatever event I take them, too. This is a recipe I got from my mom several years ago. Our pastor loves them, so I try to make them a few times a year to give to him and his family plus make them for fellowships sometimes, too.


LEMON BARS

Crust:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces

Sift flour and sugar into bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture is in small pea type pieces. Press into 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until set and slightly browned on edges.

Filling:
4 eggs
2 cups white sugar
1/3 cup real lemon juice
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Beat eggs and sugar with mixer. Add lemon juice and beat. Sift together flour and baking powder. Stir into egg mixture. Pour over baked crust. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes longer. Sprinkle with powdered sugar (using a sifter) while slightly cooled. Cut and serve!
