 | |  | | Here's two Lemon Bar Recipes that my Mom uses---they are both delicious!
Recipe 1
Cookie Base
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1 1/4 cup oatmeal (not instant)
Lemon filing
Juice of 3 lemons
Zest of 2 lemons, chopped fine
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
Cream butter and sugar, then add the flour and oatmeal to make the dough (it will be a little crumbly). Set aside. Stir juice and zest into milk. Set aside. Butter (or spray) a 9 by 13 inch pan. Press two-thirds to three-quarters of the dough into the pan. Spread lemon/milk mixture evenly over the top of the dough. Sprinkle the remaining dough (kind of like streusel) over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes until golden. When cool, slice into 1-inch squares. These are very crumbly !!!!!
Recipe 2
Cookie Base:
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 cups unbleached allpurpose flour
Lemon Filling:
2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons unbleached allpurpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
4 eggs
7 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon fresh lemon rind
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together butter, powdered sugar and flour until well blended. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch glass baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes.
Sift together sugar, flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl. Add eggs, lemon juice and lemon rind. Beat by hand or with electric mixer until well blended. Pour mixture over crust and bake for 25 minutes.
Allow bars to cool, then dust with powdered sugar and cut into squares.
Enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!! |  |  | |  |
