TART LEMON BARS | JUST A PINCH RECIPES



Tart Lemon Bars | Just A Pinch Recipes image

I LOVE tart lemon bars and a lot of recipes I've run into are rather....tamed down for my taste. I followed a generic lemon bar recipe and tweaked it up a notch or two in the lemon department.

Categories     Cookies

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 35 minutes

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 5 eggs
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix 2 cups of flour and confectioner's sugar together. Cut in the butter or margarine. (Remember it’s a shortbread crust, crumbly and well combined.) Press the dough into a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • Bake 15 - 18 minutes or until gold brown.
  • Beat together eggs, sugar, 4 tablespoons flour, lemon juice, lemon rind, and lemon extract for at least 1 minute. Pour the mixture over the HOT baked crust.
  • Bake the bars another 16 - 20 minutes, or until the lemon topping has set. (I’ve had issues with cracks so you may want to add a water bath to cooking process.) Cool completely by turning off oven and propping open (like with cheesecake). Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.

VERY LEMON EXTRA TANGY LEMON BARS RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Very Lemon Extra Tangy Lemon Bars Recipe - Food.com image

I have created this recipe, using a variety of other recipes for a base and then changing many things to meet my intense lemon craving! These go together very quickly and they are very tangy, on the too-tangy side of wonderful almost. If you lovelovelove tangy lemon and want a nice crisp crust with a higher ratio of lemon to crust, please try this recipe and tell me what you think!

Total Time 50 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 40 minutes

Yield 1 9x13 pan, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1/3 cup brown sugar or 1/3 cup Splenda brown sugar blend
1/4 cup sliced almonds
2 cups flour (no more!)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2-1 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 eggs (large)
1 cup lemon juice
icing sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Using a food processor, pulse cold margerine or butter, brown sugar, almonds, flour, and salt until it is blended together and has a sandy appearance.
  • Pat crust into a 9x13 pan (i give it a spray to keep everything from sticking and prefer to use a glass pan). It may seem very dry, but that is ok.
  • Bake crust for 20 minutes or until edges are just starting to turn golden.
  • Beat your eggs with a fork or whisk, then stir in lemon juice. In another bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. I use 1.5 cups sugar and they are very zingy. If you have any doubts, or know that you prefer slightly less zing, try 1.75 cups of sugar!
  • Remove crust from oven and reduce heat to 320°F This step is important!
  • mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Pour mixture on hot crust, and return to oven for 22 minutes, or until filling has set. It might still look a little wobbly in the center, but it will firm up a bit while it cools.
  • Cool, dust with icing sugar (You will need it if you used the lesser amount of sugar!).
  • Pucker up! :D.

LEMON BARS RECIPE | REAL SIMPLE
A perfect balance of sweet and tart, these lemon bars, prepared in layers, require surprisingly little hands-on work. You’ll mix the buttery, shortbread crust and as that bakes, you’ll whisk together the creamy, citrus filling. When the crust’s baked through, spread the top layer over it, and bake for awhile longer, before letting the whole pan cool in the fridge. One simply but smart shortcut—lining the baking pan with crisscrossed sheets of parchment paper—makes lifting these bars out of the pan, chopping, and storing them a snap. Even better: The individual bars, wrapped or covered, will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
