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, more, 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 going to finish it off with my hands Just make sure that our butter is all mixed in Now I going to put mine into a pan and I don think I going to spray it because there so much butter in this piece of pastry

Plus I've got a non-stick pan. All right, so I'm just going to 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

so when I go to put my lemon filling in it, You know, it'll kind of have 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 gonna 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 gonna 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. Mm
