Lemon Bars

Miss E had her first Harp Recital on Sunday 27th June 2010. It was held at St Hilda's School in Mosman Park.
Miss E (of course... the star for the day), Mr H Jr and I, sat through the whole recital... Mr H couldn't make it as he was busy working (chasing deadlines ... sigh).
We received an invite from the organiser together with a small note... 'to bring a plate to share'... I decided to make Lemon Bars (recipe adapted from Joy of Baking).... as I still have lemons left from our backyard.. and it is easy to make...

Lemon Bars recipe

Base
  • 100g cold butter
  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 1/2 cup icing sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
Mix all until it resembles breadcrumbs. Line a baking dish 8inch x 8 inch with baking paper. Spray some cooking oil onto the baking paper. Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the baking dish. Bake at 180C for 15 minutes... until golden in colour.

  4. These look delicious - I love the touch of putting a slice of lemon on top of each piece. I recently made some lemon bars from a very similar recipe, the results of which can be viewed on my blog at www.bakingmakesthingsbetter.com
