A Slice Of Heaven

I don't know why anything lemon flavored makes me giddy with happiness.  Especially the pastries.   So, when I saw this recipe by frugalfarmwife, it was love at first sight.  It looks so yummy and gluten free too!

For years now, instead of a cake, I enjoy a lemon meringue pie for my birthday instead.  This year am going to try these for sure.  

Here is the recipe.  Enjoy!

Gluten-Free Lemon Bars Recipe

For the crust:

• 1 ½ cups gluten-free flour
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• ¾ cup butter (softened)

For the Filling:

• 4 eggs
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
• ¾ cup lemon juice
• 2 Tablespoons flour
• 2-3 teaspoons grated lemon peel (optional)

Preheat oven to 350º.

Combine crust ingredients and mix well.

Press into the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch baking pan.

Bake for 20 minutes until the crust begins to turn a light brown.

Remove pan from oven.

Beat filling ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl.

Pour over warm crust.

Return to oven, and bake for and additional 15-20 minutes until filling is set, and slightly brown around the edges.

Remove from oven, and cool for 10-15 minutes.

Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.

Use a butter knife to loosen lemon bars from the edges of the pan.

Let cool completely.

Cut bars, and remove from pan.

Cherio!
