Lemon Snowbars

I know you can buy a boxed mix for lemon bars but why would you when you can make these just as easily....and they taste better???????

Lemon Snowbars

1 cup flour
1/4 cup sifted powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Powdered sugar for dusting

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 8x8 inch pan with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup flour and 1/4 cup powdered sugar.

Cut in butter with a pastry cutter until mixture clings together. 

Pat into your prepared pan. 

Bake for 12 minutes.

While crust is baking, beat eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer.

Add sugar and lemon juice and continue to beat for 8 - 10 minutes until mixture is slightly thick and pale yellow in color.

Stir together the 2 tablespoons flour and the baking powder.

Add to egg mixture and stir just til blended and moistened.

Pour over partially baked crust.

Bake for 20 - 25 minutes until set.

Allow to cool then dust with powdered sugar.

Cut into squares.

  1. Valerie, looks yummy and I take it you can double or triple the recipe for a big batch. Does it change the baking time? I have a big reunion coming up and this would be a great take along. Thanks for the inspiration.

  2. Hi Rondanoh... yes you can double the amount. I recently did that for a wedding rehearsal. It doesn't change the baking time by much. Maybe a few minutes longer.
