Truck Load of Lemons

This morning I was given a big ol' truck load of lemons.  I know the saying is that I should make lemonade and yada yada yada.... But I'm really not in the mood for lemonade today.  I'd like to take the lemons and throw them back at the people who gave them to me.

 But instead, I'll take the mature aproach and.....



I guess I'll make Lemon Bars.

I love this recipe!

Crust
2 Cups Flour
1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
1 Cup Butter (use the real stuff!)

Cut in butter with pastry knife or fork until clings together. Place in 13x9 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until lightly brown.

Beat Together:
4 Beaten Eggs
1/3 Cup Lemon Juice
1/4 Cup Flour
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
1/2 tsp. Baking Powder

Pour over crust and bake for again for 25 minutes.  Sprinkle with additional powdered sugar.  Cool completely before serving.


Seriously though... It's been a rough morning!!!
Hopefully eating a giant lemon bar will make me feel better.  : )
