While trying to come up with a yummy strawberry dessert, I happened across one for Strawberry Lemon Bars. It looked tasty, simple, & I had everything on hand to make it, so why not?! Of course, I never follow directions completely, so I put my own twist on things.
It turned out great, but when I make it again, I will change just a few things. The original recipe called for lining an 8 x 8 pan with aluminum foil. The 8 x 8 pan made the bars too "bready" in the middle, so I will probably switch to a shallow pan. I probably won't line it with foil next time either. Aluminum foil & fillings do not mix well.
So without further ado......
Strawberry Lemon Bars with Lemon Glaze
Ingredients for the bars:
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup butter
1 tsp of lemon juice
1 tsp of almond extract
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1 egg
1/2 cup - 1 cup of diced fresh strawberries (I just kept adding until it looked full)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.
Stir together flour, baking powder and salt.
Mix sugar and butter with electric mixer.
Add egg, lemon juice, vanilla, & almond.
Mix in flour mixture.
Fold in diced strawberries by hand.
Coat pan with Crisco & lightly dust with flour.
Pour batter into pan.
Bake for about 35-45 minutes until done.
Let the bars cool before cutting and glazing.
For the Glaze1 cup of confectioners sugar
lemon juice (enough to make it slightly runny)
Whisk together and pour over cooled bars.
I have realized that through it all, man will let you down, friends will let you down, & you will let yourself down more times than you can ever count. God will never let us down. BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I AM WHAT I AM!
