Sorry we have been slacking so much on the updates this month. Here's a delicious spin on classic lemon bars that will make it up to you. Have fun cooking and eating!
Ingredients:
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup powdered sugar
1 cup butter, softened
red food coloring
1 tbs. vanilla
4 eggs
1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup fresh lemon juice
2 tbs. lemon zest (fresh grated lemon rind)
*This can also be purchased at most grocery stores dried…but I highly recommend the fresh stuff!
1/3 cup dried, sweetened cranberries
Directions:
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Crust
-Mix 2 cups flour and powdered sugar together in a medium bowl. Mix in softened butter. Mix until combination becomes doughy consistency. Add desired amount of red food coloring for a desired aesthetic touch. I pressed the dough into two 8x8 in. pans, although you could use one larger pan of equal area if preferred.
-Bake crust 15-20 minutes, until browning on the edges.
Lemon Toping
-Beat together eggs, white sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest until thoroughly mixed. I beat this mixture for about one minute. Mix in dried cranberries. Pour the mixture over crust, equally amongst the 2 pans.
-Bake another 20-25 minutes, or until lemon topping has set.
-Sprinkle powdered sugar on top once bars have cooled.
Mmmm.
And check back with us soon, because we have got some fixings that will...shall I say....wake you up, using our new flavor of the month. COFFEE.
