Delicious Lemon Bars!

Lemon Bars = Heaven!

 

I have always been a Citrus lover...

 anything made with Lemons, Limes or Oranges,
always makes me HAPPY!

Lemon Bars, while decadent 

are the perfect amount of tart and sweet, 

with a delicious, buttery crust with bits of chopped walnuts 

and lemony curd filling. 

They resemble Lemon Meringue Pie, without the Meringue.

In Tracy's words... 

these are perfectly delicious and I have to agree myself!

Lemon Bars
(crust)
2 cups flour
1 cup butter
½ cup powdered sugar
½ cup chopped walnuts
Mix like pie crust.  Place mixture in a grease 9x13 inch pan and bake 15 minutes in a 350 degree oven. 

(filling)
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
4 eggs beaten lightly
½ cup lemon juice
2 cups sugar
6 Tablespoons flour
2 heaping Tablespoons cornstarch
½ teaspoon baking powder
Blend all ingredients together and pour over baked crust.  

Bake 30 minutes more in 350 degree oven.  

Sprinkle with 1 Tablespoon powdered sugar 

Let cool overnight and cut into bars.   I keep mine refrigerated until ready to serve.

Enjoy!
