Lemon Bars

Another one from Bethany's family! These are a hit anywhere we take them!

2 c. sifted flour
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 c. butter softened
4 beaten eggs
1 1/4 c. sugar (I reduced this from 2 c.)
1/3 c. fresh squeezed lemon
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 c. flour

For crust, combine flour, powdered sugar and butter with pastry blender and press into 9x13 pan. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, mix beaten eggs, sugar, and fresh lemon juice. Add baking powder and flour. Pour onto baked crust and bake 25 minutes longer. While hot, sprinkle with powdered sugar.

The inspiration

For a couple of years I have been typing up recipes and dreaming of getting them all into a book - one place that I can look for all of our go-to recipes we've compiled over the first 15 years of our marriage. But I hit a slump and became discouraged that this was never going to happen. Until the other night when I was talking to my friends Julie and Eric and they loved the idea, and Eric suggested that instead of a book, I create a blog! This way I could post what I already have typed up, it would all be in one spot, and maybe someday if I ever do actually get it put into a cookbook, it will be ready!
