Rep Power: 0  | the best lemon bars!
Barefoot Contessa has the BEST recipe for lemon bars. I have been searching forever to find ones that are easy to make and the right blend of sweet and tart...I believe the recipe is in Barefoot Contessa Parties. Although, the first time I made them I didn't have the right size pan, and they ended up really thin. Make sure your baking sheet has high sides to prevent spillage! I always make extra and bring them for a treat when we are invited to dinner somewhere and I try to package them up like Ina would, in bakery boxes with some colored twine. |

Rep Power: 10 | Here's Ina's recipe from the Food Network. | |  |
| | | For the crust:
1/2 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups flour
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt For the filling:
6 extra-large eggs at room temperature
3 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest (4 to 6 lemons)
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup flour
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. For the crust, cream the butter and sugar until light in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Combine the flour and salt and, with the mixer on low, add to the butter until just mixed. Dump the dough onto a well-floured board and gather into a ball. Flatten the dough with floured hands and press it into a 9 by 13 by 2-inch baking sheet, building up a 1/2-inch edge on all sides. Chill.
Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes, until very lightly browned. Let cool on a wire rack. Leave the oven on.
For the filling, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and flour. Pour over the crust and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the filling is set. Let cool to room temperature.
Cut into triangles and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Rep Power: 10 | We get a LOT of spammers this time of year. Posting more than one thread linking to the same website is a red flag. That's why we ask when you register your first post isn't linking to a site selling something.
If you are here to post with us that's fine. If we get to know you we won't have to worry you are a hit and run spammer.  | |
