This dessert is a delightful recipe from my mother's file. I've been serving it for many years. The bars have a wonderful tangy flavor, and they're always a hit. For variety of color and shape, they're a nice addition to a platter of cookies. Ingredients:
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
filling: |
2 eggs |
1 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
additional confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the flour, butter and confectioners' sugar. Pat into an ungreased 8-in. square baking pan. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes.
2. For filling, in a small bowl, beat eggs. Add the sugar, flour, baking powder, lemon juice and peel; beat until frothy. Pour over the crust. Bake 25 minutes longer or until light golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Cut into bars. Yield: 9 servings.
