Hi All - do any of you have a hard copy of Joe's Lemon Bars recipe that could post the fractional

amounts in the recipe?

One used to be able to at least see the ascii code and then look it up, but now all fractions show the question mark inside the black diamond for fractions no matter which browser I use, even in the source code. smileys/frown.gif

 
Here you go, see if this works for you....Joe's Lemon Bars

Here's my T & T lemon bar recipe. I don't think they'd freeze well because of the custardy topping, but I've never tried. Joe

This calls for an 8" square pan and makes 16 bars. A double recipe fits in a 9x13” dish. A triple fits a jelly roll pan.

The only trick to these is to pour the topping onto the hot crust as soon as it's done, preferably in the oven. This keeps it from getting soggy.

Mix together in a food processor:

1 cup sifted flour
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter chilled unsalted butter, diced
A pinch of salt (if butter is unsalted)

(Mixture will stay powdery if your butter is cold) Press into 8 x 8-inch pan. Bake at 350ºF. 20 minutes, or until lightly
golden.

Meanwhile, beat together:

2 eggs
1 cup sugar
3-4 tbs. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. baking powder

Pour onto hot crust immediately after it is done. Bake 25 minutes more, or until topping is firm and lightly browned. Let cool before cutting. Cut around the edges so all bars will have 4 cut sides. (Enjoy the edge munchies yourself).

Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Store airtight for a few days, or longer in the refrigerator. Sprinkle again before serving.

THanks Pat! I can see the quantities in the one inside your post. smileys/smile.gif I guessed right on amounts,

which is good!

On the one you linked to, as many in the archives, I cannot read any of the fractions. smileys/frown.gif

Thanks for your help! We got a bag of lemons from a friend's tree so I wanted to put them to good use.

 
Yay, glad it worked. I usually have good luck using GeorgiaRose's approach

(thank you, GeorgiaRose!!).
Paul mentioned in another post that this approach may not work in all browsers but I've found it to work each time in Internet Explorer.

GeorgiaRose said: If you open a recipe that is not displaying correctly, try the following:

Right-click on the page.
Click on "Encoding" from the right-click menu that displays.
Click on "Western European (Windows)" to select from the choices available.
This should refresh the page and the characters should now be readable.
This is not a permanent fix, but it should work each time you encounter this issue.

Using GeorgiaRose's workaround for Apple machines

Click on View on Safari menu bar (at screen top)
Click on Text Encoding (near bottom)
Click on "Western (ISO Latin1)" near top
This should refresh the page and the characters should now be readable.

Thanks Pat for sharing this! Colleen
