- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup butter or margarine, chilled
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
- 1/3 cup apricot preserves, or preserves of your choice
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
- 4 eggs
- 1 3/4 cups white sugar
- 3/8 cup lemon juice
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch square pan.
- Combine 2 cups flour, butter, 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder in a food processor; pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the mixture into the prepared pan.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until firm and golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool at least 20 minutes in the pan.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the preserves and 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder; spread over the cooled crust. Whip eggs with a wire whisk until foamy. Beat in sugar, lemon juice, and salt until the sugar has dissolved. Sift together 1/3 cup flour and baking powder; whisk into eggs until smooth. Pour onto the preserve-topped crust.
- Bake in preheated oven an additional 35 to 40 minutes, until the center of the egg mixture has set. Sift together 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar with 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder, and sprinkle over hot lemon bars. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
