Spring is here and summer is just around the corner! There’s nothing better then refreshing lemon on hot days. I have been making these Lemon Bars for over 40 years and they’ve never disappointed! I can’t give credit to whom it belongs, but my whole family thanks them! You will, too. In under an hour, you can be serving these super easy and so delicious treats!

Lemon Bars

2 ¼ c all-purpose flour
1 c butter (room temperature)
½ c powdered sugar (plus a little more for sprinkling)
4 eggs (room temperature)
2 c sugar
¼ tsp salt
5 Tbls lemon juice (fresh is best)
1 tsp baking powder

9 x 13 glass dish (rectangular)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In bowl, add 2 c flour, butter and powdered sugar.

Cut with fork or pastry cutter until it’s crumbly.

Press into an ungreased 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 20 minutes.

While the crust is baking, whip eggs lightly with a fork. Add sugar, salt and lemon juice. Mix well. Stir in remaining ¼ flour and baking powder.

Pour onto the hot crust. Bake 25 minutes.

When cool, sprinkle with powder sugar and cut into squares. Serve. They’re best when cold.

You can refrigerate or even freeze any leftovers, but I seriously doubt there will be any!
