FINALLY! LEMON BARS THAT I LOVE!
This is the best (finally!) recipe for lemon bars that I've tried. And I've tried a LOT of them over the years. This is the winner hands down! Found in an old Good Houskeeping cookbook! (I still changed it a little, but very minor changes.)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a 13" x 9" baking pan with foil extending it over the sides a little. Lightly spray foil with butter-flavored cooking spray.
- In medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour and 1/2 cup powdered sugar. I use a whisk.
- With pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle dough evenly into bottom of pan. Level, brushing with your hand lightly, then pat dough firmly into bottom.
- Bake 15-17 minutes until lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, in large mixer, beat eggs on high speed until thick and lemon-colored, about 3-4 minutes.
- Reduce speed to low, add lemon juice, sugar, baking powder, salt, and remaining 3 Tbl. flour.
- Beat until blended, scraping sides and bottom of bowl occaisionally.
- Pour filling over warm crust.
- Bake 15 minutes, or until filling is just set and golden around the edges.
- Transfer pan to wire rack.
- Sift powdered sugar (1 Tbl.-1/4 cup) on top over warm filling.
- Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
- When cool, lift out holding on to foil, and transfer whole thing to a cutting board or surface.
- When cool, cut into bars.
- Makes 24-36 bars.

[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly, but my lemon bars turned out really runny. I'm not sure what went wrong.

[email protected]These lemon bars were a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The crust was also a little dry, but overall they were still pretty good.

[email protected]These lemon bars were a hit at my party! They were so easy to make and turned out perfectly. The crust was crispy and the filling was creamy and tangy. I will definitely be making these again.

[email protected]I have tried several lemon bar recipes, and this one is by far the best! The crust is buttery and flaky, and the filling is perfectly tart and sweet. I love the addition of lemon zest in the filling, which gives it a really bright and citrusy flavor.
