Down south, every party we have
0:02
you can usually find a lemon bar. The recipe has been around for 100 years
0:09
and they're so delicious. So I'm gonna start this lemon dish with all-purpose flour
0:18
confectioner's sugar, and a stick of butter. and with my fork I'm just gonna blend that butter into our dry ingredients and then I'm gonna pat
0:33
it into our pan and we're gonna bake this for about 15 or 20 minutes all right now I've got
0:39
all this mixed up I'm gonna finish it off with my hands just make sure that our butter is all mixed
0:50
in. Now I'm going to put mine into a pan and I don't think I'm going to spray it because
0:57
there's so much butter in this piece of pastry. Plus I've got a non-stick pan. Alright, so
1:04
I'm just going to press this down in here and make sure I level it off good. And I bring
1:10
it up the sides of the pan just a little bit so when I go to put my lemon filling in it
1:17
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
1:24
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
1:30
All right, now I've got my crust here. It's baked for about 15 or 20 minutes
1:35
I've pulled it out, and we're going to add sugar, a little flour
1:41
because this is going to be kind of a loose center, but we want just enough flour to bind it
1:49
And we got lemon juice and two eggs I just going to give those a quick beat
2:05
And then pour them in there and mix that together just like that
2:11
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
2:18
and we're going to run this back in the oven. And while these are baking, I'm going to come over here
2:24
and show you a glazed honey bar, and they're so good. So let's throw this in the oven, and we'll let that bake
2:37
So I want to show you how I finish them off. And these are completely cooled
2:46
This is the lemon bars. Now all I do to these is just dust them with powdered sugar
2:54
All right. And you can see the way these are cutting. They have a much softer texture to them
3:04
You can kind of see that lemon custard kind of oozing out of them
3:09
All right, let's see how those are going to do. Oh, yum
3:15
See that gooey center? I love the corners of a bar type cookie
3:23
where they're really crispy and crunchy. I think I'm gonna put maybe a little lemon wheel
3:31
just on the plate. Some fresh mint and some grapes. Just a little bit of green for color
3:44
And how pretty do those look? Thank you
