Lemon Bars

Ingredients

Crust

1 C Unsalted Butter room temp

½ C Sugar

2 C Flour

1/8 tsp Salt

Filling

6 Eggs room temp

2 C Sugar

2 Tbl Lemon Zest (approx. 4 lemons)

1 C Lemon Juice (also, about 4 lemons)

1 C Flour

Instructions

For the crust:

Mix together all ingredients until they become one big lump.

Form into the bottom of a prepped 9 x 13 pan.

Chill and preheat the oven to 350

When the oven comes to temp, put in the crust and bake for 15 – 20 minutes

Until it becomes a very light brown.

For the filling:

Mix all the wet ingredients together and sift in flour. Mix well.

Pour over crust and put back into 350 oven and bake for 30 – 35 minutes, until set.

Note: If the crust is just out of the oven when you put in the filling, check after 20 minutes.

It could be set by then. It may not, but it doesn’t hurt to check!
