Lemon Bars, Lemon Squares. Lemon Pie. You name it!


This time, I am going to make a lemon bars/squares. You name it! But since I used a rounded pan, so let's call it a lemon pie ^_^

Let's try this simple easy recipe, right away!

Lemon Pie

2 cups flour
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 cup butter
3 eggs (I like my pie to be firm, so I'm using 3 small eggs, instead of 4 - as original recipe)
2 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
9x13 greased pan, 350 degrees

How to:

Preheat oven to 350°F
Lightly grease the pan.

Crust:

1. Combine the flour, icing sugar in a large bowl.
2. Cut in the butter to make a crumbly mixture.
3. Press the mixture into the prepared pan. You may need to dip your fingers into a little flour or icing sugar to keep the dough from sticking to your fingers.
4. Bake for 20 minutes.

Filling:
1.Mix the eggs, granulated sugar, flour, and lemon juice.
2.Pour this over the baked crust and bake for 25 minutes longer.
3.Sprinkle with icing sugar, if desired, when the bars are done.
Enjoy!
