Mary's Lemon Bars

These were served at my bridal shower and came to SLO by way of R.-A. Daines. These are the best home-made lemon bars I think I have ever had. I have tried before in the past to make lemon bars and failed, hopefully when I have the chance to try this recipe personally I will have better results!

Ingredients for Crust:

1 C butter
1/2 C powdered sugar
2 C flour

Directions for Crust:

Mix and press in a 9 x 13. Bake at 350 for 15 mins. Then remove. Cool slightly until warm.

Ingredients for Filling:

1/2 C flour
2 C sugars
4 beaten eggs
6 T fresh
lemon juice and a little zest

Directions for Filling:

Pour liquid over crust. Bake at 325 for 20-25 mins until feels fully firm when touched. DON'T OVERBAKE. Let cool. Sift powdered sugar on top.

hmmm... This looks an awful lot like the lemon bars your mother makes... Oh! How about that. They ARE the same ones your mother makes!
