Does anyone have a good recipe for Lemon Bars? The kind with a lemon filling and a crust like pie crust, dusted with powered sugar or with frosting.

My DH wants them (just like the kind he had at the family owned resturant - I wasn't with him).

Thanks

Lemon Bars- We use Martha Stewart's recipe but the quality/flavor of the lemon is important. Yummo.

Good morning - here's a link to the Eagle Brand recipe - it's the best & quickest I've ever tried - love them & every time I take them to a church pot luck - they are a big hit.

Hope you enjoy them - have a blessed day

Lemon Bars (squares) were served at my last Bible Study Group meeting, and I also plan on making them for the quilt guild meeting next week! Yum!
