I love to bake, and these lemon bars rank among my most-often requested recipes, Brenda says.
Ingredients:
2-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour, divided
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, divided
1 cup cold butter, cubed
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
2/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar; cut in butter until crumbly. Press into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
2. Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Place on a wire rack to cool slightly.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, lemon juice, baking powder and remaining flour until frothy. Pour over warm crust.
4. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
5. Dust with remaining confectioners' sugar. Cut into bars. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 2 dozen.
