TART LEMON BARS



Tart Lemon Bars image

I LOVE tart lemon bars and a lot of recipes I've run into are rather....tamed down for my taste. I followed a generic lemon bar recipe and tweaked it up a notch or two in the lemon department.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

1 teaspoon lemon extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  • 3. Bake 15 - 18 minutes or until gold brown.
  • 4. Beat together eggs, sugar, 4 tablespoons flour, lemon juice, lemon rind, and lemon extract for at least 1 minute. Pour the mixture over the HOT baked crust.
  • 5. Bake the bars another 16 - 20 minutes, or until the lemon topping has set. (I've had issues with cracks so you may want to add a water bath to cooking process.) Cool completely by turning off oven and propping open (like with cheesecake). Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
