I love lemon bars. I am picky about which brand of boxed lemon bar mix I will buy. And I always end up adding extra lemon juice. I also like lime bars, but have yet to find a packaged brand I like of those. Well, a few months ago a coworker brought in a pan of the most wonderful lemon bars I had ever tasted. I asked her about them and she made them from scratch. The best part: The recipe is incredibly simple.
1 c. Butter, softened
1/2 c. White Sugar
2 c. Flour
4 Tbs Flour
1-1/2 c. White Sugar
4 Eggs
2 Lemons, juiced
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Blend together first 3 ingredients. Press into bottom of ungreased 9x13 pan
Bake 15-20 minutes, until firm and golden
Whisk together remaining sugar and flour. Whisk in eggs and lemon juice. Pour over baked crust.
Bake for 20 additional minutes. Bars will firm as they cool.
*Also try replacing the lemon juice with lime juice and a couple drops of green food coloring for lime bars.
*For a festive party tray, make a batch of lemon and one of lime, cut into bars, and arrange in a checker board fashion
