SNOW DUSTED LEMON BARS

Steps:

• Combine all filling ingredients in bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Pour filling over hot, partially baked crust.

LEMON BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the crust, cream the butter and sugar until light in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Combine the flour and salt and, with the mixer on low, add to the butter until just mixed. Dump the dough onto a well-floured board and gather into a ball. Flatten the dough with floured hands and press it into a 9 by 13 by 2-inch baking sheet, building up a 1/2-inch edge on all sides. Chill.
• Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes, until very lightly browned. Let cool on a wire rack. Leave the oven on.
• For the filling, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and flour. Pour over the crust and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the filling is set. Let cool to room temperature.
• Cut into triangles and dust with confectioners' sugar.

THE BEST LEMON BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, blend together softened butter, 2 cups flour and 1/2 cup sugar. Press into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and golden. In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/4 cup flour. Whisk in the eggs and lemon juice. Pour over the baked crust.
• Bake for an additional 20 minutes in the preheated oven. The bars will firm up as they cool. For a festive tray, make another pan using limes instead of lemons and adding a drop of green food coloring to give a very pale green. After both pans have cooled, cut into uniform 2 inch squares and arrange in a checker board fashion.

LEMON-BUTTER SNOWBARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350'F.
• In mixing bowl, combine all crust ingredients. Mix on low speed until blended, and will stick together when pressed.
• Pat crust into a greased (I use Pam) 8" square pan. Build up the sides about 1/2" around pan. Bake near the center of the oven for 12-14 minutes or until edges turn lightly browned.
• Meanwhile, prepare filling by whisking all filling ingredients together. When crust is ready, pour the filling over it while still hot, and return to the oven for about 20 minutes or until set. I run a sharp knife all around the edges before it cools off, it loosens it up.
• Dust with confectioner's sugar, and let cool completely. Cut into squares. You may want to dust them again...I do!
