How to Make County Fair First Prize Blue Ribbon Lemon Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- **Make the crust:**
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter.
- Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the dough evenly into a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- **Make the lemon filling:**
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 3 large eggs, 2/3 cup fresh lemon juice, and the grated zest of 2 lemons.
- Pour the lemon filling evenly over the baked crust.
- Bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden brown.
- Let the lemon bars cool completely in the pan before sprinkling with powdered sugar and cutting into squares.
