Lemon Bars
CRUST
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar
2 cups all purpose flour
LEMON TOPPING
4 large eggs
2 cups sugar
Dash salt
Lemon juice with pulp to equal 4 tablespoons (see note below)
For Crust: Preheat oven to 350° F. In a medium bowl, mix the butter,
confectioner’s sugar and flour with you hands just until blended, similar to a
pie crust dough. Pat into an ungreased 13×9x2-inch baking pan. Bake for 15
minutes. Remove from oven and cool almost completely before adding
topping.
For Lemon Topping: Mix together the eggs, sugar, salt, and lemon juice. Beat
with spoon or whisk until well blended and the sugar is dissolved. Pour over
partially cooled crust. Return to oven and bake 20 minutes or until top is set.
Cool on rack. Cut into bars. Store in refrigerator.
Note: It is important that you measure the lemon juice with the pulp added,
not before you add the pulp. Generally speaking, the amount of pulp that
naturally comes out of the lemon when it is reamed is sufficient. Don’t forget
to remove the seeds.
