Lemon Bars

Taking other's suggestions; I used 1/2 c. lemon juice, the zest of one lemon, and beat the eggs for about 7 minutes before adding the remaining ingredients. I did not cool the crust before adding & baking the filling. They turned out great! They were completely set after 25 minutes in the oven. I think it helped to add the filling when the crust was still hot. I also lined the pan with foil (sprayed lightly with pam), leaving the edges long so that I could use the foil to lift the bars out of the pan once chilled. I do this with a lot of baked goods, so that I can put them on a cutting board and use a large, straight pizza cutter to cut them into nice bars. I found that they were easier to lift out and cut if they were chilled. Once lifted out of the pan and cut, I then let them come to room temperature before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.

Absolutely delicious. I too increased the lemon zest, using the zest of one lemon. Nothing else to change. Easy and the taste is divine. As suggested by Mirj might give orange a go next time.

"I BETCHA CAN'T EAT JUST ONE" These are not only EASY but if you like the taste of real lemon this is it!

Di, I made these for my brothers fiancee, she just had minor surgery. So do you think she will notice the 3 that are missing? I had to taste them to be sure they were delicious! And then I got a tall glass of milk and helped myself to 2 more, heck it's the thought that counts :-) Great, simple, delicious recipe, thanks!!

Hi Diana, I made these tonight for my hubby for a special treat, he loves lemon. These were just perfect, not too tart and not too sweet, just PERFECT. Thank you for sharing it with the Zaar family. I'll make this one again and again.
