Lemon (or Lime) Sour Bar


This recipe is a family favorite. It calls for lemons, but I've been using limes - AMAZING! Try it, you'll be SO glad!

Preheat oven to 350.

Step 1
1 c. flour
1/3 c. butter, melted
2 Tbsp. powdered sugar
Mix together and pat into the bottom of a 9x9" pan (the original recipe calls for a 7x11" pan). Bake for 10 minutes. While baking whip up step 2.

Step 2
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. coconut
1/2 c. walnuts, chopped
1/4 c. flour
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Mix together and pour over the crust as soon as you pull it from the oven. Pop it back in the oven for 15 minutes. Make step 3.

Step 3
1/2 tsp. (I use 1 tsp.) grated lemon zest (or lime if you are using limes)
1 Tbsp. Lemon/Lime juice
1 c. powdered sugar
Milk - if needed for spreading consistency
Whisk together and frost bars when they come out of the oven. Cool, cut, and EAT!
