Lemon Bars!

I made these lemon bars today!!! So tasty!! I used Paula Deen's recipe but made a recipe and a half of the lemon filling and added lemon zest to the recipe! So these are now Jancie's Lemon Bars!!!

Here is the recipe!
Ingredients:

Crust
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup confectioners’ sugar, plus more for dusting
pinch of salt
2 sticks butter, at room temperature, plus more for greasing

Lemon Filling
6 eggs
3 cups granulated sugar
9 tablespoons all-purpose flour
9 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 9x13x2-inch pan.

Make the crust by combining flour, confectioners’ sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter to make a crumbly mixture. Press the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the filling. Mix the eggs, granulated sugar, flour, lemon juice and lemon zest. Pour this over the baked crust and bake for 25 minutes longer. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar, if desired, when the bars are done. ENJOY!!!
