This recipe was in Woman's Day Magazine, Feb. 22, 1994 issue. Made it for Christmas one year and thought they were the best lemon bars ever. Lost the recipe and thought about them often. Found the recipe a few years ago. Heaven. I love anything citrus.
Crust
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup)butter, at room temp
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
Topping
4 large eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp freshly grated lemon peel
1/3 cup lemon juice
For garnish: confectioners' sugar
Heat oven to 350. Grease a 9 x 13 pan.
In food processor or with electric mixer, process or beat the butter, flour and confectioners' sugar until mixture holds together and forms a dough. Press over bottom of prepared pan.
Bake 15 minutes until light golden and firm when touched.
Beat all Topping ingredients until blended. Pour over base.
Bake 25 - 30 minutes until golden brown and set.
Cool in pan on wire rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar before cutting in bars.
Makes 24.
