- I got this recipe from my grandmother, and I have no idea where she got
- it. :)
-
- Any place it says "Lemon", orange can be substituted if you want to make
- orange bars. (Yummy, but orange cake mix is hard to find. Blending lemon
- and orange tastes okay, though.)
-

-
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1 package lemon cake mix
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- Confectioner's sugar (optional)
-

- Procedure:
- preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix 1 egg, butter and cakemix until
- crumbly. Reserve 1 cup of mixture. Pat remaining mix into a 13x9x2 or
- 9x9x2 pan, depending on how thick you want 'em. Bake 15 minutes. Beat 2
