HONEY LEMON BARS

 

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup + 1 tbsp all-purpose flour, divided
3/4 cup honey
1/2 cup lemon juice
3 eggs
1 tsp grated lemon rind
1/2 tsp baking powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium mixing bowl cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the 1 cup of flour; mix until combined. Press the mixture onto the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan, pressing out evenly to make a crust. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned at 350 degrees.

While the crust is baking, in a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the 1 tablespoon of flour, baking powder, honey, lemon juice, eggs, and lemon rind until thoroughly combined. Pour the mixture over the baked crust; bake another 20 minutes or until the filling is set. Allow to cool in pan before cutting to serve.
