Easy Lemon Bars


I've never been a fan of lemon bars, but I had some extra lemon juice and decided to whip up a batch. Pretty simple. Pretty delicious. Empty pan. Bummer!



Easy Lemon Bars

For the crust:
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour

Mix it up and smoosh it in a 9x13 pan. (Can use 9x9, but bars will need to bake longer!)
Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes until it's starting to brown.

To make the filling:
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup lemon juice

Mix this up and pour it over the partially baked crust. Bake an additional 20 minutes or so. Let cool completely before trying to dig in or it gets messy (but still delicious!)
