Margherita Bars

From Sabrina, verbatim

Crust:
¼ unsalted butter, room temp
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 cup flour
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp lemon zest


Topping:
2 whole eggs
1 egg white
1 scant cup of sugar
2 teaspoons flour
½ tsp baking powder
1/3 cup lemon juice or lime
1 tsp grated lemon or lime
1table spoon whole milk, half and half or cream or none at all (if you have it, great)

Preheat oven to 350. Coat an 8 x 8 inch pan w/ cooking spray. For crust: Cream together butter and sugar; add flour, salt and zest. Beat until crumbly and put into (pat into) pan. Bake for 18-20 min or until golden. Remove from oven; let cool.

While crust is baking, prepare the topping: Whisk egg and egg white until frothy. Umm. Add sugar, flour, baking powder, lemon juice and zest: mix until combined. Pour mix over crust and bake for an additional 25 minutes or until topping is set and golden. Cool and dust w/confectioner’s sugar and cut into squares or eat the entire pan with a fork. This will make you feel sick. Some people prefer to drink. Lead me not into temptation. I can find it myself. Whoa.
