Lemon Bars

Nothing enhances life better than flour, sugar, and butter! Two of my girlfriends introduced me to this recipe a couple years ago. You could actually pay Kevin for car repair with lemon bars, which one of them did. :) We eat these gooey and straight from the oven because we can't wait for them to cool! But once cooled, the crispy edges are delish!

Bake Sale Lemon Bars
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar for decoration

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

Combine the flour, 2/3 cup confectioners' sugar, and butter. Pat dough into prepared pan.

Bake for 20 minutes, until slightly golden. While the crust is baking, whisk together eggs, white sugar, flour, and lemon juice until frothy. Pour lemon mixture over the hot crust.

Return to the preheated oven for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until light golden brown. Dust the top with confectioners' sugar. Cut into squares.
