MEYER LEMON BARS Ingredients 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1 cup butter (2 sticks), softened 2 cups plus 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 4 eggs 2 cups sugar 1/3 cup fresh squeezed Meyer lemon juice 1 heaping tablespoon grated lemon zest 1/2 teaspoon baking powder Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 9 X 13 baking pan by lining it with criss crossed pieces of aluminum foil that have an overhang of an inch or two. Spray with cooking spray unless using non-stick aluminum foil. Cream the powdered sugar and butter in a stand mixer until light and fluffy. Add 2 cups of the flour and beat on medium speed until mixed. Press into the bottom of the prepared baking pan and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Beat the eggs, sugar, Meyer lemon juice and lemon zest in a large bowl either by hand or with a mixer. Sift the reserved 1/2 cup flour and baking powder into the mixture and mix well. Pour over the hot crust and return to the oven to bake for another 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness at 20 minutes, and add on time as needed. Cool completely before cutting, then dust with powdered sugar and serve.
