Lemon Bars

Can also be made as grapefruit bars, I think. I’ve never been that adventurous.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup butter

1 cup sugar

1 cup flour

2 eggs

2 tbsp flour

2 tsp grated lemon peel

3 tbsp lemon juice

1/4 tsp baking powder

Powdered sugar

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.

  2. Beat the butter and 1/4 cup sugar. Add 1 cup flour.

  3. Press the crust into the bottom of a square pan.

  4. Bake for 15 minutes.

  5. Mix 3/4 cup sugar, eggs, 2 tbsp flour, lemon peel, lemon juice, and baking powder.

  6. Pour filling onto hot crust and stick back into the oven for another 30 minutes until set.

  7. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
