Sunkist Lemon Bars Recipes

SUNSHINE "LEMON BARS" RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Note: I like to double the ingredients, and bake this in a 9x13 baking pan; otherwise use an 8" square baking pan. Prepare your baking pan with non-stick spray. I like to make a parchment paper "sling", which I clamp down with small metal binder clips (great tip). Crust: Mix butter, flour and powdered sugar until fine and crumbly, pat into bottom of a 9 inch square pan. (Tip: I pulse the crust ingredients in my food processor, which makes the job quick and easy.) Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes. Filling: Sift the sugar, flour and baking powder. Mix the lemon juice, grated peel, sugar, flour, baking powder and eggs and pour over the baked crust. Place in a 350°F oven and bake for 25 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes. If using a sling, lift out of the pan and cut the bars into about 24 cookies. Dust with powdered sugar and serve. Store in an airtight container.

POPPY SEED-LEMON BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
• Combine butter and confectioners' sugar in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add flour, salt, and cardamom; mix until just combined. Stir in poppy seeds until evenly distributed. Press dough evenly into the prepared baking dish with floured hands.
• Bake crust in the preheated oven until edges are just starting to brown, about 18 minutes.
• While the crust is baking, combine sugar, eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add flour and stir until just combined.
• As soon as the crust comes out of the oven, pour the filling into it and return to the oven.
• Bake until filling is puffy and lightly browned around the edges, about 30 minutes. Place on a wire rack and cool completely before cutting into 16 squares. Dust lightly with confectioners sugar.
