A Cold and Lemon Bars

Yesterday, I had a rotten cold and everything I tried to eat tasted awful.  About 3:00 in the afternoon, all of a sudden, I had a craving for lemon bars.  Random craving.  I made some and that is what has sustained me for the last 24 hours.  A cold CAN have a silver lining!!

Lemon Bars

Make 1 cup of baking mix. I used:
1/2 cup white rice flour
1/4 cup sweet rice flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
Add:
1/2 tsp xanthum gum
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Stir to combine dry ingredients.

Then add:
1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
Cut this into small pieces and then use a pastry blender, food processor, or plain old fork to blend this until mealy.  Stir in 2 tablespoons of water to make a dough.
Pat out crust into a 9 inch square pan that has been sprayed with Pam.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 mins.  Crust will not be brown.

Filling:
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 TBS. lemon juice
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup sugar
2 TBS. white rice flour

Mix filling and pour over baked crust.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25- 30  minutes or until slightly brown.  When cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
