Everyone seems to make these but they're still one of my favorites...

LEMON BARS

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup flour

1/2 cup butter

1/4 cup powdered sugar

2 eggs

1 cup sugar

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

2 Tbsp. lemon juice

DIRECTIONS:

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Blend flour, butter and powdered sugar thoroughly (I use my fingers for this job). Press evenly in 8x8 or 9x9 paN. Bake 20 minutes. Beat the remaining ingredients together. Pour over the crust and bake 20-25 minutes more. Do not over bake. The filling will puff up while baking but flattens when cooled. Allow to cool before cutting. Sprinkle cooled bars with powdered sugar.

Lemon bars just never go out of style, do they? They're good for all kinds of occasions or just dessert!

Thanks, Marianne! I made my first cheesecake for Thanksgiving, and now I'm going to try lemon bars. I bet I could make them gluten-free...
