Baking Up a Storm

Here’s my first post on my baking blog it’s also my new favorite recipe for Lemon or Lime Bars.
 I hope you make these and love these as much as my family and I do.

LEMON OR LIME BARS:
Beat 1/3 cup margarine or butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add 1/4 cup sugar. Beat till combined. Beat in 1 cup all-purpose flour until mixture is crumbly. Press this mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 8 x 8 inch baking pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-18 minutes or just till golden. Meanwhile, combine 2 eggs, 3/4 cup of sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons lemon or lime juice, 2 teaspoons of finely shredded lemon or lime peel and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder. Beat for 2 minutes or until well combined. Pour over the hot baked layer. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes more or until lightly browned around the edges and center is set. Cool on a wire rack. Sift powdered sugar over the top. Cut into bars or squares. - I like to cut these into 16 squares.  Enjoy!
