THE BEST LEMON BARS image

Categories     Lemon     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup butter, softened
2 1/2 cups (divided) white sugar
2 1/4 cups (divided) all-purpose flour
4 eggs
2 lemons, juiced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a medium bowl, blend together softened butter, 2 cups flour and 1/2 cup sugar. Press into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and golden.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/4 cup flour. Whisk in the eggs and lemon juice. Pour over the baked crust.
  • Bake for an additional 20 minutes in the preheated oven. The bars will firm up as they cool.
  • For a festive tray, make another pan using limes instead of lemons and adding a drop of green food coloring to give a very pale green. After both pans have cooled, cut into uniform 2 inch squares and arrange in a checker board fashion.

These lemon bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They said they were the best lemon bars they've ever had. I would recommend using less sugar if you don't like things too sweet.

These lemon bars were a bit too tart for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best lemon bars he's ever had. I would recommend using less lemon juice if you don't like things too sour.
