Quarantine Cooking: Lemon Bars Recipe

[@doreenc3223]

I just use the butter wrapper to press the crust in the pan..works like a charm..no sticking to hands..no mess... ❤️

[@iwantthetruthandnothingbut6521]

Beautiful idea!💞

[@ShakeitupwithShante]

Look so delicious

[@birdlover8992]

I like your idea💐

[@CookingwithCoot]

Now that’s a great idea @Doreen C

[@jolenemcgee5321]

great idea!

[@mom24boybarians]

I first made Lemon Bars when I was in 3rd grade, 1968. I got the recipe from the Peanuts Cookbook by Charles Schultz that I ordered through Scholastic Books. They were called Lucy's Lemon Squares. We had a prolific Meyer lemon tree and a well stocked kitchen so my mom never complained about me making them. Neither did my dad or 4 siblings ; ).

[@bbdrew3137]

mom24boybarians you’re so lucky you had a lemon tree! I’ve always wanted one but I live in an apartment 😔😔

[@stacey5925]

What a wonderful memory of your childhood!!

[@JoeHollywood22]

I own that cookbook lol

[@CookingwithCoot]

What a great family memory!

[@lilmonsta6701]

That is so so dope !!!

[@say6607]

i like it when you use real butter and have the crust baked golden before pouring in the lemon filling,and also the ingredients are simple.

[@daniellesdays]

Lemon Bars always remind me of when I was in high school; we made them in a home ec class. 🍋💛

[@suziebatze5856]

Paula Deen is still the cooking queen!! Love you and all your recipes!! Always will!!! This recipe is a treasure.

[@kellygress7424]

Great recipe! I always zest the lemon and add the zest to the crust, then the juice to the topping. Or, you could add the zest to the topping as well! The zest adds lots of lemon flavor :)

[@queenlovely694]

Homemade the best. No Preservatives. Just loving every bit. Happy Sunday Ms. Paula , Theresa and the entire crew.

[@susanhagler2401]

Lemon bars, lemon icebox pie, lemon drop candy lemon lemon lemon my mouth is watering. If you put your lemons in the microwave for a few seconds and then roll them on the counter before cutting to juice you get more juice to release.

[@robinhightower2475]

Love me some Paula Deen America's Sweetheart to me!!!!

[@wilmaburrgooch981]

Love anything lemon. Lemon pie , cakes, candy .

[@anitablount1886]

me too, lol.

[@lizmiller7681]

I agree with Teresa, they’re one of my favorites too. Y’all makin’ my mouth water again. They’re so fast and easy, I’ll be making some real soon... with REAL fresh squeezed lemon juice! ⚡️💖⚡️

[@ms.blanche8578]

You’ve made my week already Ms.Paula. I just heard my favorite gal say my favorite word BUTTA... a lot.... have a butterlishous week everyone

[@sweethomealabama1369]

You have a wonderful week my friend ♥️🤗

[@tobymom9722]

@Baddy Btch She is cooking for family and friends in her own kitchen. If you are that concerned you should never eat out because I guarantee people breathe on the food, wipe their fingers, stick their fingers in the food, etc. What kind of freak are you to make such a disgusting comment? You are a truly repulsive person.

[@tobymom9722]

@Baddy Btch On the contrary, I have been around here since the first show. You are incorrect, very few people here make the kind of comments you have made today other than the occasional troll. You most certainly display antisocial issues to even think your comments are acceptable or appropriate.

[@tobymom9722]

@Baddy Btch Right back at you. Clearly you don't like it when others tell the truth. From one rude pig to another. And you are still wrong - we don't make the kind of comments that you made here.

[@ShakeitupwithShante]

I love the golden girls

[@mariaborracci733]

Good morning Paula and Family thank you for sharing this delicious lemon 🍋 square looks very easy to make I don’t like recipe complicated put this I will try have a blessed Sunday 🥰

[@taowright]

My mouth is watering! I have got to try these. Thanks Miss Paula and Theresa.

[@ShakeitupwithShante]

Paula you have lead the way for so many of us thank you so much ♥♥♥

[@maleaht2070]

I have to make them! I will use the large pan, too! Thank you, Paula! I’m one of your many daily viewers!

[@KingsDaughter1958]

Betty Crocker makes a great lemon bar mix in a box, and I always substitute lemon juice for all the water in their directions. It's to die for if you love lemon and you want to make it quicker than having to have all the individual ingredients on hand.

[@ladyj1309]

Oh my lemony goodness! I haven't made these for some time... You know I'm giving these a try once again, thanks Paula. We love all you recipes! I'm so happy seeing you just about everyday again. We love ya, please keep it going. I really look forward to your videos daily! Continued blessings and hugs to you all...

[@SuperManning11]

I love Paula!! I’m really not much of a cook, but these videos during quarantine have been a life-saver. Her kitchen is now a familiar place, as is her voice and her accent. In these confusing times, I am so grateful that she is doing these videos. Thank you, Paula!!

[@robertstead8360]

I love you Paula your channel is so refreshing and down to earth.. Love to you and your family

I love anything lemon! I have a great lemon ricotta cookie recipe. My friends are always asking for those cookies. Problem is I can’t help but taste the batter and then the cookies don’t get made and I have to start over!

[@louisedory7725]

Andrea Marin I would love your lemon ricotta recipe

[@KingsDaughter1958]

Do share! I too love lemon anything :)

[@apmarin]

I will definitely go and look for it and share with you. It is SO good!

[@apmarin]

Here you go! Caveat: check you cookies after ten minutes of baking as ovens vary. Enjoy! Ingredients 2 cups Granulated Sugar 2 Lemons, zested 2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour 1 teaspoon Baking Powder 1 teaspoon Salt 1 stick Unsalted Butter, softened 2 large Eggs 15 ounces Ricotta Cheese, whole milk (1 container) 3 tablespoons Lemon Juice, fresh For the Glaze: 1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar, sifted 3 tablespoons Lemon Juice 1 Lemon, zested Directions For the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 375° F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine sugar and lemon zest. Mix with your fingertips until the sugar is fragrant. Set aside. In another medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In the large bowl combine the butter and lemon sugar. Using an electric mixer beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, mixing until they are fully incorporated. Add the ricotta cheese and lemon juice and mix until incorporated. Stir in the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Spoon the dough (about 2 tablespoons for each cookie) onto prepared baking sheets. Bake cookies in preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, until slightly golden at the edges. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 20 minutes. Once all the cookies are cool, prepare the lemon glaze. For the Glaze: In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest and whisk until smooth. Dip the top of each cookie into the glaze. Place cookies on a wire baking rack or wax paper and allow the glaze to harden before serving.

[@KingsDaughter1958]

Paula: I watch you from Sinaloa Mexico. I retired and moved down here. When I was younger I relied on your recipes as a young wife and mother. The channels down here don’t have your show re-runs and I wanted to make your recipes for my grandson. Ever since I saw these I just flipped with excitement. Now I watch them with my 6yr old grandson and we make your recipes. Thank you because they your show my grandson and I have fun activities to bond with. Sending you spicy best dishes and love from Mexico. I’ll keep looking for your books down here🥰

I never use the artificial lemon or lime juice, it's absolute trash. I always take the time to squeeze them fresh. Thanks for sharing. Looks easy enough 🙏🏽🖤

[@bettylou3709]

My hands aren't as strong or agile as they used to be so now I use my food processor too cut in butter or shortening. It works great. I have that casserole dish thanks Paula I love it.

[@annschindel3330]

I’ve made these for years from your cookbook and they are everyone’s favorite! Fun to see you make them in person ❤️

[@HeathKentucky]

So last night I watched your chicken dumplings video and never made them before. I cooked it just like you showed and they turned out so good the pot was completely empty, only bird I could get was a 6lb one and my 2 boys and wife have now put me in charge of that dish lol, who thought a 38yr old construction worker could cook something that good lol thank you

[@sharronwolfe7711]

Now Steve! You “done stopped preaching and gone to meddling” when you talk about candy bars! Ha! My hubby loves 3 Musketeers and Milky Way. I’m a Snickers nut! 😊 A really good video! Self control is a fruit of the Spirit, and it’s a difficult one - as attested to the fact I’ve been trying to lose weight all my life, it seems! 🤦‍♀️ Your comments about being able to see life’s happenings associated with scripture shows maturity on your part. Your mother’s prayers being answered! And that gives me hope for our daughters! You are 8-10 years older than they are, and at the moment I don’t hear them talk much about the Word. Bless you and the RMR! God has blessed me through your videos, and I appreciate the fact you have continued your mother’s channel! I’m sure she is smiling, down on you!

[@charannhare4369]

So agree about the “fake” lemon juice!

[@vivianpowell1732]

Neither the fake lemon juice in the plastic lemon nor the bottled lemon juice can take the place of the real thing.

[@mcampbell4556]

There is a lemon juice I get off Amazon, it’s 100% organic Italian Volcano lemon. Has about 40 lemons in every 1 liter bottle! It is a must to have on hand for these recipes! Only thing lacking is the zest!

You should use a Cuisinart food processor. It works great and creates a perfectly smooth shortbread dough in seconds. 😊 It's almost the same recipe as my grandmother's. She found hers in a newspaper in the 60's. We add zest to the custard and we don't put as much flour in it....only a couple tbs. Also, we wait till it cools completely before we cut it. 🙂

Paula, My mother made these exactly as you just did! Oh, the whole idea of that lemon custard/curd filling is heavenly. If you need them ultra-fancy you can drizzle some of Eddie's quick glaze over the top too! We used to put them in the fridge to cool before serving. Yummy girl!

A 2lb bag of lemons not only provides you with an inexpensive source of vitamin c but it helps create some amazing changes and tastes in simple inexpensive foods. A 3.99 investment well worth it that can last 2 months and the lemons can be frozen for those infrequently used dishes in the future, still tastes better than the bottled kind.

[@lenagojara3524]
