Lemon Bars




Crust:

1/2 cup earth balance butter, softened
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup white sugar


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix together the butter, flour and sugar with a fork until crumbly. Press into an 8 inch square pan and bake for 20 minutes (it will still look white, don't let the crust brown!)


Filling:

4 TBS cornstarch
1 1/2 cups white sugar
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 lemons, juice and zest


Thoroughly mix together cornstarch, sugar, flour, baking powder, lemon juice and zest. Pour over the pre-baked crust and put it back in the oven for another 20 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Let bars cool before cutting.

Yum:)
