CRUST

FILLING
4 eggs
2 c sugar

Steps:

Cut in butter (I find using forks is easiest) until mixture is crumbly. Process until mixture forms a ball. Pat crust into pan. Making it as even as possible. Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are set and lightly brown.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine all filling ingredients: eggs, sugar, lemon juice, flour, lemon peel, orange peel, and baking powder; mix well. Pour over HOT crust. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until set and lightly browned.
  • 3. In a bowl, combine topping ingredients: sour cream, sugar, and vanilla. Spread over filling. Bake 7-9 minutes longer or until topping is set. Cool on wire rack. Refrigerate overnight. Cut just before serving.

These citrus bars were a bit too tart for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try adding a little more sugar next time.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
