Crust

2 cups flour
1 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/2 cup powdered sugar
 
 

Filling

4 eggs, well beaten
2 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice (1 lemon)
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • Author: Tawra

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Mix all the crust ingredients in a bowl.
  3. Press into a greased 9×13 inch pan. Make sure the edges are higher than the center to contain the filling.
  4. Bake the crust for 20 minutes or until it begins to brown.
  5. Combine, eggs, sugar and lemon juice and mix well.
  6. Stir in flour and baking powder.
  7. Pour into the baked crust and bake 20 minutes at 350°.
 
The lemon bars are done when they are firm to the touch. Cut into small squares and dust with powdered sugar. These lemon bars are extremely rich, so cut into small pieces.

This easy lemon bars recipe is from volume 1 of our cookbook:

    These lemon bars look scrumptious! Does anyone know if this recipe freezes well? I was thinking of giving some bars to someone I know who LOVES lemon, but he lives alone, and may want to freeze them.

      Yes you can freeze them. You can freeze in layers – making sure there is wax paper or parchment paper between layers- or you can separate them on a cookie sheet, freeze then individually wrap. If you do them in layers you can just pull one layer out at a time and leave the rest frozen.

    Thanks for your guidelines for freezing. I made these for Memorial Day, and my sister-in-law loved them! I have a question, though, as it was the first time I made these, and we have a new oven, which is a bit tricky with baked goods. (sigh)

    The top crust was very light and crispy, very similar in texture to a “meringue”. Is that correct, or did I over-bake them? Sorry to need so much “hand holding”!

      It sounds like the crust turned out just fine. If they tasted ok too it was probably fine. Don’t worry one bit about asking questions at all. That is what we are here for and trust me I love to hear from people who are interested in learning these things. I know it is hard sometimes with a new oven to get use to it but after a few tries you will have it down. Just holler when you need too. :)

      So glad you are enjoying them Daisey. I have to limit myself on how often I make them because I have no self control with them and could eat the whole pan. : )

    Ever since I made them for the first time (around 2013 or 2014), they are a family favourite. Thank you so much for this delicious recipe.
