I happen to come across this recipe at a food.com. The recipe was posted by justmeterri, but I did modify the recipe just a bit. These citrus bars are very good. They had a nice lemony flavor to them.

Number Of Ingredients 13

CRUST:
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup butter
TOPPING:
4 eggs beaten
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablesp. orange juice
1-1/2 tsp. lemon zest
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
confectioners' sugar (for sprinkling on top the bars)

Steps:

  • 1. To make the crust: In a bowl combine together, the flour and confectioners' sugar. Cut in butter; mix until mixture becomes crumbly and clings together. Press crust mixture into a 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Place baking pan in a preheated 350 degree oven. Bake the crust for about 25 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • 2. To make the topping: In another bowl beat together, the eggs, sugar, lemon juice, orange juice, and lemon zest. Stir in the 1/4 cup flour and baking powder, mixing well. Pour topping mixture over the baked crust. Place pan in the oven, and bake for an additional 25 minutes.
  • 3. When cool; sprinkle the bars with the confectioners' sugar, then cut them into bars. (I cut the bars while they were slightly warm, then sprinkled the bars with the confectioners' sugar.)

These citrus bars were a disappointment. The crust was too dry and crumbly, and the filling was too tart. I won't be making these again.

These citrus bars were easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a little less sugar in the filling. I found them to be a bit too sweet for my taste.

These citrus bars were a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of sweet and tart was perfect, and the shortbread crust was the perfect finishing touch. I'll definitely be making these again.
