Karla's Notes:

This is a very delicious dessert ,I love lemons !

This is the original recipe that the Meyer Lemon Lime Bars that I have posted was adapted from.
***Recipe from www.foodnetwork.com ***

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350° F

For the crust , cream the butter and sugar until light in the bowl of an electric mixer , fitted with the paddle attachment.

Combine the flour and salt and , with the mixer on low , add to the butter just until mixed.

Dump the dough onto a well-floured board and gather into a ball.

Flatten the dough with floured hands and press into a 9x13x2" baking sheet , building up a 1/2" edge on all sides. CHILL

Bake crust for 15 - 20 minutes , until very light browned. Let cool on a wire rack . Leave oven on.

For the filling , whisk together the egg , sugar , lemon zest , lemon juice , and flour. Pour over the crust.

Bake for 30-35 minutes , until the filling is set. Let cool to room temperature.

Cut into triangles and dust with confectioners' sugar.

I am a little conflicted: I vowed to boycott her products and show entirely after her refusal of the Make-A-Wish Foundation's request, but she doesn't make money from this, so I am going to try it! I love lemon bars, and am still looking for some that taste better than the ones made from a Krusteaz mix!

Thea , these are not pucker up lemony but they have a lot of lemon flavor , but if you want more pucker just add a little more juice and zest ..not much because you don't want to water down the filling But I love the lemony flavor the way they are .

Nikki , So can I , I love these lemon bars ! :) ♥
