I had a request by one of my brothers for lemon bars. So I made a batch last night. I have a couple of different recipes I use, and this is one of the more traditional recipes.

Lemon Bars

Base:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 cup margarine or butter, softened

Filling:

4 eggs, slightly beaten

2 cups sugar

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 cup lemon juice

Frosting:

1 cup powdered sugar

2-3 Tablespoons lemon juice

1. Heat over to 350 degrees. In large bowl, combine all base ingredients at low speed until crumbly. Press mixture evenly in bottom of ungreased 9 x 13-inch pan. Bate for 20 to 30 minutes or until light golden brown.
2. Meanwhile, in large bowl, combine all filling ingredients except lemon juice; blend well. Stir in lemon juice. Pour mixture over baked base.
3. Bake for an additional 25 to 30 minutes or until top is light golden brown. Cool 1 hour or until completely cooled.
4. In small bowl, combine powdered sugar and enough lemon juice for desired spreading consistency, blend until smooth. Frost cooled bars. Cut into bars.

Happy eating!
