Lemon Bars

Down South, every party we have, you can usually find a lemon bar

The recipe has been around for 100 years, and they're so delicious

So I'm going to start this lemon dish with all-purpose flour, confectioner's sugar, and a stick of butter

And with my fork, I'm just going to blend that butter into our dry ingredients

And then I'm going to pat it into our pan, and we're going to bake this for about 15 or 20 minutes

All right, now I've got all this mixed up. I'm gonna finish it off with my hands

just to make sure that our butter is all mixed in Now I gonna put mine into a pan and I don think I gonna spray it

because there's so much butter in this piece of pastry. Plus I've got a non-stick pan

All right, so I'm just gonna press this down in here, and make sure I level it off good

And I bring it up the sides of the pan just a little bit

I go to put my lemon filling in it. You know, it kind of has something to wrap its arms around

All right, so I'm going to throw this in the oven and let it bake for 15 or 20 minutes

Okay, I don't know about y'all, but I'm ready to finish up these lemon bars

because I can't wait to get in them. All right, now I've got my crust here

It's baked for about 15 or 20 minutes. I've pulled it out, and we're going to add sugar

A little flour because this is going to be kind of a loose center But we want just enough flour to bind it And we got lemon juice and two eggs

I'm just going to give those a quick beat. And then pour them in there

And mix that together just like that. I love making these because you don't even have to pull out a mixer

So we're just going to pour that on top, and we're going to run this back in the oven

And while these are baking, I'm going to come over here and show you a glazed honey bar, and they're so good

So let's throw this in the oven. And these are completely cooled

This is the lemon bars. Now all I do to these is just dust them with powdered sugar

All right And you can see the way these are cutting They have a much softer texture to them

You can kind of see that lemon custard kind of oozing out of them

All right, let's see how those are going to do. Oh, yum

See that gooey center? I love the corners of a bar-type cookie where they're really crispy and crunchy

I think I'm going to put maybe a little lemon wheel just on the plate

Some fresh mint and some grapes. Just a little bit of green for color

And how pretty do those look? Maybe my cooking will make up for my goofiness that embarrasses Jamie sometimes

Mmm
