Lemon Bars

How to make gooey lemon bars that make your mouth water.

Preheat oven to 325.
Crust:
1/2 cup butter or margarine softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup flour

The first thing you do when baking lemon bars is to make the crust. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar.Once the butter and sugar are creamed together, add 1 cup flour. Spread across 8x8 inch pan. Make sure that you cover the entire bottom of the pan and that the mixture is pressed down. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.



While the crust is in the oven, prepare the filling.

Filling:
2 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
2 Tbs. flour
2 Tbs. lemon juice

Beat the eggs in a medium sized bowl. Add the sugar, flour and lemon juice. If you want your lemon bars really sour, add a few more drops of lemon juice. Mix well and pour over the crust immediately after removing it from the oven. Put the lemon bars in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Let the lemon bars cool, sprinkle a little bit of powdered sugar on top and enjoy!
