We are still eating yummy things from the backyard. I have an antique recipe for lemon bars, which I have modified to something more to our taste, more intense. If Greg's family has a potluck, his sisters and cousins are very happy when I bring these. I took pictures, but they were too blurry to put on the blog. When they are in season, I use Meyer lemons from the yard. I use a Pyrex pan--which is better when making acid-y things. And I don't over bake them so the filling stays softer. This was our dessert this evening.
Lemon Bars
1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup confectioners sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup lemon juice
Cut together flour, butter, and confectioners sugar. Press into 8" x 8" pan. Bake 20 minutes at 325 - 350 degrees. Beat the remaining ingredients together. Pour over crust and bake 20 minutes. Be sure to watch closely so they don't over bake.
