Lemon Bars Recipe

Recipe for lemon bars - These bars are packed multilayer oily crust mixed with lemon and a little sugar. To date, this is the best lemon bars I've ever done!

Ingredients:

2 c flour

1/2 c powdered sugar

1 c butter

1 8 oz cream cheese softened

6 TBSP sugar

5 eggs

1/2 tsp vanilla

2 c sugar

1/3 c lemon juice

1/4 c flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

Instructions:

Sift together flour and confectioners sugar.

Cut in butter until mixture clings together. (I use my hands to mix in the butter to the mix - it gets messy but is the best way to get it in there!) 

Bake @ 350 for 20-25 minutes, or lightly browned and then cool.

In a bowl, mix cream cheese until smooth.  

Add 1 egg and vanilla and beat well. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, beat 4 eggs until frothy. 

Add granulated sugar and lemon juice. 

Sift together 1/4 cup flour and baking powder and stir in to egg mixture.

Spread cream cheese mixture over cooled crust.

Cover with egg mixture.  (Pour this slowly, do not dump it onto the layer, it will not layer well)

Bake for 25 minutes, or until done.  (might need longer depending on thickness of bars) 

Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut into squares.
