For a change from ordinary lemon bars, our home economists added orange peel to both the crust and filling and turned the recipe into a tarts. Ingredients:
3 eggs |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
1-1/4 cups sugar |
1 tablespoon grated orange peel |

1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar |
1/2 cup ground almonds |
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
1 teaspoon grated orange peel |
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed |
additional confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. For filling, in a blender, combine the eggs, lemon juice, sugar and orange peel. Cover and blend on high until smooth. Add butter; cover and process on high just until smooth. Set aside.
2. In a food processor, combine the flour, confectioners' sugar, almonds, lemon peel, orange peel and butter; cover and process until mixture forms a ball. Press pastry onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. tart pan with removable bottom.
3. Pour filling into crust. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack. Just before serving, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 10-12 servings.
