I made lemon bars for church, Sunday evening. To get the flower and butterfly shapes on the top, I traced small cookie cutters onto paper, cut them out, placed them on top of the cut, cooled bars and dusted them with powdered sugar. Then, I gently lifted off the paper. I got the idea from Martha of course! ;0)
LEMON BARS
Crust:
2 sticks butter, softened
2 cups flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Filling
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup flour
4 eggs
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 tsp. baking powder
1. Mix crust ingredients with a fork. Press into 9x13 pan. Bake for 20 minutes at 350.F
2. Mix filling ingredients and pour on top of crust. Bake 20-25 minutes at 350.F
3. Dust with powdered sugar. Cool. Cut into squares. (If you make the shapes on top you will want to cool, cut and then dust with sugar.)
Now I just need to learn how to cut even squares. :0)
What a cute idea!
