VERY TANGY LIME (OR LEMON) BARS



Very Tangy Lime (Or Lemon) Bars image

This recipe is out of a cookbook called "Pure Dessert" by Alice Medrich. The emphasis is on "pure flavor," or, in this case, "pure lime" (a half cup mind you). Yum. The crust is buttery, delicious, crunchiness, underneath it all.

1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • To make the crust, in a medium bowl, combine the melted butter with the sugar, vanilla, and salt. Add the flour and mix just until incorporated.
  • Press the dough all over the bottom of the pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until well browned on the edges and golden brown in the center.
  • To make the topping, in a large bowl, stir together the sugar and flour. whisk in eggs. stir in lemon juice and lime zest.

  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the center no longer jiggles.
  • Lift the foil liner out and transfer bars to cutting board. You can blot the surface of the bars to remove any foam. (Test to make sure your bars aren't to sticky first. This trick could remove a lot more than excess foam -- ).

I have created this recipe, using a variety of other recipes for a base and then changing many things to meet my intense lemon craving! These go together very quickly and they are very tangy, on the too-tangy side of wonderful almost. If you lovelovelove tangy lemon and want a nice crisp crust with a higher ratio of lemon to crust, please try this recipe and tell me what you think!

Time 50m

Yield 1 9x13 pan, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1/3 cup brown sugar or 1/3 cup Splenda brown sugar blend
1/4 cup sliced almonds
2 cups flour (no more!)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2-1 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 eggs (large)
1 cup lemon juice
icing sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Using a food processor, pulse cold margerine or butter, brown sugar, almonds, flour, and salt until it is blended together and has a sandy appearance.
  • Pat crust into a 9x13 pan (i give it a spray to keep everything from sticking and prefer to use a glass pan). It may seem very dry, but that is ok.
  • Bake crust for 20 minutes or until edges are just starting to turn golden.
  • Beat your eggs with a fork or whisk, then stir in lemon juice. In another bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. I use 1.5 cups sugar and they are very zingy. If you have any doubts, or know that you prefer slightly less zing, try 1.75 cups of sugar!
  • Remove crust from oven and reduce heat to 320°F This step is important!
  • mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Pour mixture on hot crust, and return to oven for 22 minutes, or until filling has set. It might still look a little wobbly in the center, but it will firm up a bit while it cools.
  • Cool, dust with icing sugar (You will need it if you used the lesser amount of sugar!).
  • Pucker up! :D.

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 1h10m

Yield 16 2 inch bars

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1/2 cup strained fresh lemon juice
2 -3 tablespoons powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven.
  • To make the crust: Cut butter into chunks and melt it in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar, vanilla, and salt. Add the flour and mix just until incorporated. Press the dough evenly over the bottom of the pan, Bake for 25- 30 minutes, or until the crust is well browned at the edges and lightly browned in the center.
  • To make topping: While the crust is baking, stir together the sugar and flour in a medium bowl until well mixed. Whisk in the eggs. Stir in the lemon zest and juice. When the crust is ready, turn the oven down to 300 and slide the rack out without removing the pan. Pour the filling over the hot crust.
  • Bake for 20- 25 minutes, or until the topping is puffed at the edges and no longer jiggles in the center when the pan is tapped. Set on a rack to cool completely in the pan. Lift the ends of the foil liner and transfer to a cutting board. Use a long sharp knife to cut into sixteen 2 inch bars. May be stored, airtight, in the refrigerator. Lemon bars keep perfectly for about 3 days; after 3 days the crust softens but the bars still taste quite good for the remainder of a week. Do not freeze. Sieve powdered sugar over the bars just before serving.
  • Equipment: 8-inch square pan, lined on the bottom and up all 4 sides with foil.
