Absolutely, I can post the recipe for the lemon bars. Today, went to Food for less to pick up a few things. I seriously don't know how much more of this I can take, with all this distancing thing, the mayhem at the stores, etc. I usually buy a 4 lb bag of frozen tilapia for $9.99. It is now $14.99 for that same bag! That was just on of the many things I noticed. It just got to me so much, I've been sleeping all day. Almost think I was on the verge of a panic attack, had chest pains today. I'm feeling a little better, but the mood lingers....
Ok, the lemon bars... Preheat oven- 350
For the 'shortbread' base:
1/3 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup flour
Beat butter in a medium bowl for 30 sec. Add in the sugar, cream together. Beat in the flour, till mix is crumbly. Press mixture in an UNGREASED 8 x 8 pan, and bake for 15 minutes. Do not overbake.
For filling:
2 eggs
3/4 c sugar
2 Tbsp flour
2 tsp finely grated lemon peel ( adding a little more is ok)
3 Tbsp lemon juice (might as well use the fresh lemons!)
1/4 tsp baking powder
combine all filling ingredients till combined. Pour filling over the baked base and bake 20 minutes or till edges are lightly browned. Cool completely on wire rack then cut into bars.
