Default Fan-tab-u-lous lemon bars


Yesterday I made some great lemon bars.
I'm glad I was planning on taking them to work, because from the time
I made them, until I left for work this morning 1/4 of the 9-by-13
inch pan was gone. Oh my gosh, are these good.

The step by step is on my blog if you are interested.

Lemon filling
http://i42.tinypic.com/35bxtz4.jpg

Fabulous crust.
http://i43.tinypic.com/wi7jna.jpg

Bar none, pun intended, these are the best lemon bars I've had.

@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format

Classic Lemon Bars

desserts

For the crust
vegetable oil for greasing
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter; cold and diced
2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup light brown sugar; packed
1/4 cup confectioner's sugar; more for garnish
1/4 teaspoon Salt
For the filling
4 large eggs
2 egg yolks
2 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup all purpose flour; sifted
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 cup fresh lemon juice; from about 8 lemons

Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F.
Grease a 9-by-13 inch pan with vegetable oil and line with foil,
leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides; grease the foil with oil.
Pulse the butter, flour, both sugars and the salt in a food processor
until the dough comes together, about 1 minute. Press evenly into the
bottom and about 1/2 inch up the sides of the prepared pan, making
sure there are no cracks. Bake until the crust is golden, about 25
minutes.
Meanwhile, make the filling: Whisk the whole eggs and yolks, sugars
and flour in a bowl until smooth. Whisk in the lemon zest and juice.
Remove the crust from the oven and reduce the temperature to 300°F.
Pour the filling over the warm crust and return to the oven. Bake
until the filling is just set, 30 to 35 minutes.
Let the bars cool in the pan on a rack, then refrigerate until firm,
at least 2 hours. Lift out of the pan using the foil and slice. Dust
with confectioners' sugar before serving.

The in focus parts of the shots are great ;-P



For those of us that don't get 'sticks' of butter..

1 'stick' is 125gms.

1&1/2 sticks = 187gms. (rounded up)

The SO is the lemon freak amongst us, and absolutely loves anything lemon, so
I'll let you know what she thinks when I make them :-)

Thanks for the recipe.

OMG, I am trying so hard not to make these right now. lol Since the
recipe calls for 2 egg yolks, I will have to make Forgotten Cookies with
those 2egg whites, so when I make this I will be busy.


I am trying to diet, gosh darnit. <saving this recipe>

Thanks for the recipe! Looks like enough lemon juice. I love lemon
bars, but the recipes I've made have never been lemony enough for me.
This one may do the trick!

There's about 3,970,00 there for you.


Interesting concept though, leaving them in the oven overnight.

No problem. :-)


Forgotten Cookies

2 egg whites, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
2/3 cup sugar
pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°. Cover one baking sheet with parchment paper or
use aluminum foil, sprayed with PAM. Beat egg whites until foamy, add
cream of tartar. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until they
hold stiff peaks. Mix in salt and vanilla. Stir in pecans and chocolate
chips. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto the baking sheet. These cookies spread
very little, so you can put them close together. Put cookies in the
oven, then turn the oven off. Leave the cookies in the oven overnight
with the door closed. They should be ready to eat in about 4-5 hours,
though (don't ask me how I know).

Thanks! I've only had forgotten pie once and it was very good. Don't
know why I've never made it myself.

Just remember, they contain fresh fruit juice. I know, I'm a bad

Now if someone could just genetically modify a chicken so that it laid
yolkless eggs, we'd be set!! ;-P

Becca once spent a few minutes explaining to me why her apple pie was
practically health food. "It's only apples and a little bit of sugar!"

It was delicious!

Looks very close to a recipe for meringues. Do they taste like gussied-up
marshmallows?

Aha, I see she hoodwinked you and conveniently forgot to mention the
lard she uses in her crust.

If they are anything like Forgotten Pie, they won't taste like a
marshmallow. But I was disappointed that the recipes PL posted that
had chocolate chips, just like Becca's. I was hoping for something
more ethereal.

I looked up Forgotten Pie, it looks to be just a version of meringue.

Looks like choc chips are the mainstay..... but you can always leave them
out.

Crush coconut macaroons into them.........

These cookies have a delicate crispness to them, they are not soft like
marshmallows. They are one of my favorite cookies. I have also used
Splenda in them and they turn out fine.

I looked at a few of the billion Forgotten Cookie recipes on Google
and they were virtually the same one. Want her to attribute all of
them too? Good luck with that.

Default Forgotten Cookies from Becca

This is a recipe I have cooked, in one way or another, since I was a
teenager in high school. Some recipes use vanilla, some don't, some use
cream of tartar, some don't. I have used mini-chocolate chips, I also
used cinnamon chips, back when I could find them. They are easy to make
and I always have the ingredients in the house.
