Guest guest Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 I made these today. Yummy! Sweet, but with a nice lemon tang, and the shortbread base is delicious. Sunburst Lemon Bars Base: 2 cups all purpose flour ½ cup powdered sugar 1 cup margarine or butter, softened Filling: 4 eggs, slightly beaten 2 cups sugar ¼ cup all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder ¼ cup lemon juice Frosting: 1 cup powdered sugar 2 – 3 tablespoons lemon juice Directions: Heat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, combine all crust ingredients at low speed until crumbly. Press mixture evenly into bottom of an ungreased 13x9 pan. Bate at 350 for 20 to 30 minutes, or until light golden brown. Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine all filling ingredients except lemon juice. Blend well. Stir in ¼ cup lemon juice. Pour mixture over warm crust. Return to Oven and bake an additional 25 to 30 minutes or until top is light golden brown. Cool Completely In a small bowl, combine 1 cup powdered sugar and enough lemon juice for desired spreading consistency (thin is better, as it will be difficult to spread a really firm frosting over the delicate top of the bars). Blend until smooth. Spread over cooled bars. Cut into bars. Yield: 36 bars Nutrition per serving: Calories 140 Protein 2 g Carbohydrate 22 g Fat 6 g Sodium 75 mg -- Sherri If you're happy and you know it, clunk your chains.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 These are yummy. I have a similar recipe but the only difference is that yo= u don't frost it with glaze, you dust the tops with powder sugar. The frostin= g idea sounds divine. Thanks. BTW, I love your little tag line: If you're happy and you know it, clunk yo= ur chains. *lol* Where did that one come from? ~ P_T ~ Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a = crime. --Ernest Hemingway ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ , Sherri <sherria@o...> wrote: > I made these today.
