It’s been a long day. This afternoon, we found out Cole has broken his foot. He did it playing basketball last night. It’s not the end of the world by any means, but it’s put a serious damper on a trip we’ve been planning to take next week.
Life handed us lemons… I think that is enough reason to make lemon bars.
I wish I could have given you a play-by-play equipped with photos of my mom’s infamous lemon bar recipe. It’s so easy and incredibly comforting, especially in a moment like this. Unfortunately, life got in the way.
Here’s the recipe nonetheless.
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Melt 1 stick of unsalted butter. Mix in 1/4 cup confectioners (10x) sugar, 1 cup of all purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Flatten the mixture in the bottom of a 9 inch square brownie pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove and cool slightly
In a blender or a bowl combine:
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbs fresh lemon juice
2 eggs
1 tbs flour
Mix in blender or in bowl with a large whisk until completely combined. Pour over the crust and bake for 25 minutes.
Cook in a rack and loosen edges.
While warm, cut into squares.
Once cooled, dust with additional confectioners sugar. (I usually use a fine sieve and pour the sugar over it).
Pour over the
Life handed us lemons… now we have lemon bars!
