Late Lemon Bars

Lemon Bars are Kurt's favorite so I make them for his birthday instead of cake. I was a little late this year.

I kind of used different parts of the Barefoot Contessa recipe and the Better Homes Recipe because I was low on some ingredients.

(The powdered sugar melted into the top before I took the picture.)

Lemon Bars

1/2 c sugar

2 c flour

1/4 tsp kosher salt

3/4 c butter, room temperature

4 eggs slightly beaten

1 1/2 c sugar

3 T flour

1 T lemon zest

3/4 c lemon juice

1/4 milk

powdered sugar

Cream butter and sugar. Add flour and salt. On low speed add butter until just mixed. Press into the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Chill for a minute, then bake 18 min at 350.

Mean while whisk eggs, sugar, flour, lemon juice and zest and milk. Pour over crust and bake 20 minutes- until filling is set. Cool completely and sift powdered sugar on top.
