To celebrate my daughter's birthday yesterday, because you have to have some sort of dessert on your birthday, I made Lemon Bars. We will be having her big birthday party on Saturday with cake so I wanted something that was light and refreshing for the beautiful day we had outside yesterday. This was something quick and easy to put together with ingredients I already had in the house. If you have fresh lemon, you could always add in grated lemon for more flavor! Enjoy!
Lemon Bars
Ingredients:
1 cup Bisquick Gluten Free mix
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup sugar
4 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2 eggs
2 tbsp. butter, melted
Powdered sugar for sprinkling
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together Bisquick, 1/2 cup of butter, 1/4 cup powdered sugar in a bowl until blended together. I used my hands to make this process easier.
Press the mix into the bottom of an ungreased 8' square pan.
Bake 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
In a mixing bowl, mix sugar, lemon juice, baking powder, salt, and eggs on medium speed for 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add in melted butter.
Pour mix over the baked crust.
Bake an additional 15-20 minutes or until no indentation remains when lightly touched in the center. Cool completely and refrigerate about 2 hours.
Sift powdered sugar over top and enjoy!
