Lemon Bars
Mix together:
2 cups flour or 2 cups ATK flour + ½ tsp xanthan gum or 1 1/3 cup white rice flour + 2/3 cup millet flour + ½ tsp xanthan gum
½ cup powdered sugar or ½ cup 1:1 sugar free powdered sugar substitute (like Swerve)
Cut in with pastry cutter (can use mixer, but only mix until crumbs formed):
1 cup butter
Press into 9x13” pan sprayed with GF baking spray.
Bake at 350° for 18- 20 minutes (may take 20-25 minutes if using regular flour)
Beat together:
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice
Add:
¼ cup flour or ¼ cup ATK flour + 1/16 tsp xanthan gum or ¼ cup white rice flour + 1/16 tsp xanthan gum
½ tsp baking powder
Pour over hot crust.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until set (do not under-bake, it should be golden brown & feel firm to the touch).
Cool on wire rack.
When completely cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar or sugar free powdered sugar substitute.
Notes:
The original recipe was called Lemon Squares, but I can’t seem to cut them into squares to save my life, so I just changed the name to Lemon Bars!
These do not freeze well. But you can keep them in the refrigerator for quite awhile.
