Lemon Pie Bars

What could be better than lemon pie in a bar?  So refreshing and satisfying!

 These are a cinch to make and are great to get the kids involved with.

You will need:

Crust

-1/2 Cup brown sugar

-2 Cups flour (I use a whole grain flour)

-4 Eggs

– Olive oil for greasing the 9×13 pan

Lemon Top

-1 Cup powder sugar

-1/4 Cup Flour

-3 Lemons juiced

-2 Eggs

-lemon zest from the juiced lemon

-salt for soaking lemons

Soak the lemons for about 10 minutes in a bowl of 2 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt.

This will rid the lemons of the waxy coating.

Mix together the brown sugar, 2 cups flour, and the 4 eggs. Press the mixture into your 9×13 pan greased with olive oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes on 350 degrees.

Juice the 3 lemons and keep the pulp in the juice.  Grate the yellow colored part of the rind with a cheese grater. Get as much as you can off, and add it to the lemon juice.

Mix in 2 eggs into the lemon juice.

Add the 1/4 cup flour and 1 cup powder sugar to the lemon juice and whisk well. 

Pour the mixture over the warm crust. Bake for 20-25 minutes on 350 degrees.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool. These are also delicious served warm!

Cut into squares and enjoy!
