Feb. 17, 2009 - Lemon Recipe

I was reading another blog, Pumpkinsmomma, and she is having a contest.  The winner receives  a Pampered Chef gift certificate.  To enter just add a lemon recipe to your blog and provide a link to hers.  If you do this, mention me in your comments and I can be entered again! I love Pampered Chef.  So here is my favorite lemon recipe.
Lemon Bars
Shortbread:
3/4 cup butter, room temp
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Filling:
2 lemons
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup flour

1. Heat oven to 350.  Mix shortbread ingredients together (fork or pastry cutter works here) and press into ungreased 13x9 pan.  Bake 20 minutes until brown.
2. Wash and dry the lemons, then grate the rinds  (you will need 2 tablespoons of zest.) Slice each lemon in half and squeeze juice.  You will need 1/3 cup in all.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar.  Add flour.  Stir in zest and juice.  Pour mixture over cooked shortbread.  Bake 20-25 until the filling no longer jiggles.  When cool, cut and dust with powdered sugar.

Yummy!
