Luscious Lemon Bars:

Press into bottom of a greased 13x9 baking pan. Hint: Line the pan w/foil and grease the foil with crisco, then you can lift bars out easily. Bake in a 350 oven for 20 minutes till edges are golden.

Yum! I would have thought 5 or more eggs (?) so this is a healthy treat too!
It's actually very fattening :) but thankfully Mrs. Dottie and I never gain an ounce, no matter what we eat, in fact, we both weigh exactly the same as we did in high school.
"4 slightly beaten eggs"
Not a threat.
"Hint: Line the pan w/foil and grease the foil with crisco, then you can lift bars out easily."
This is SO thoughtful of you to share your innermost baking secrets! Many people would leave these parts out!
I was just thinking I want to cook more! You read my mind. And "stressed is desserts spelled backwards" is priceless!
Thanks everyone, and anon 11:41, we encourage "transparency in baking" here at LVS Recipe Ramblings. No secrets, just open and honest recipes. Remember, "sunshine" is the best disinfectant.

Mrs. Dottie, your lemon bars look DELICIOUS!
Mrs. Dottie, YOU look delicious (you too Mr. Dottie)
Merci.
With lemon bars, as a beverage, would lemonade be overkill? (not a threat)
Very Cas, I would recommend a citrus iced tea beverage. A tall glass of iced green tea, add orange or lemon slices for some zest.
Merci, Mrs. D!
Only 1 tea spoon of shredded lemon peel?
That's all she wrote.
Now wait just a minute Mr. Dottie, Betty, Now that I have purchased a handy kitchen tool called a "lemon zester" I think I may add a little more lemon peel in my next batch of lemon bars. Using the cheese grater was not fun.
Bill, very, very, OT here, Ron Angle has failed to file his appeal. Is that an acknowledgment that he ripped off the disabled son of his deceased brother. I think Ron Angle didn't appeal because he knows the Will he filed is phony ? What do you think ?
Kitchen Tip for local blahggers:
The tinfoil used in this recipe can be recycled to make hats!
Not to burst your bubble or anything but I believe Lemon Bars were invented by the Mohican Markets.
The Mohican's trust fund heir could use a "lemon zester" and an enema.
Let's stay on topic, people ...
Mrs. Dottie,
Thank you for posting the recipe. The lemon bars looks delicious.
I will definitely make a batch of these.
Lemon rinds are not considered as edible food by the FDA and therefore are sprayed with very evil chemicals. So make sure you wash the lemons with soap before using or use organically grown lemons.
If I may, Id like to place my vote for "Comment of the Day" being Mrs. Dotties kitchen tip at 8:37 on Friday.
No pun intended - that was sweet!
I have been buying mostly organic fruits and vegetables lately, but thanks for the tip anon.8:20 am. I guess I should be careful about the orange slices in the iced tea too.
Thanks Pand!
Thanks Heidi, I know you will love these lemon bars, and they are easy to make.
This is the best blog in the Lehigh Valley "bar" (and make that a lemon bar) none.
