Lemon fudge bars.

I always have a special liking for lemons. Lemon tarts, lemon crepes, lemon anything. Lemon taste so good, despite people constantly saying that it is really sour. I honestly love lemons. So I finally decided to make lemon bars! I made a lemon loaf before but that turned out horribly, so I didn't dare make another batch. Plus my oven is really bad. So this recipe would be much better.

Also, I've found a replacement for healthier bakes! :) I now use greek yoghurt to replace butter and splenda to replace sugar. Though I'm still trying around about the measurements for the greek yoghurt to replace butter because of the texture. &I always forget to use splenda, so I used sugar instead for this. But I'll definitely make more in the future, so I'm looking forward for the next "healthy" bake!

Recipe for the crust (the bottom):
1/2 cup greek yoghurt
1/2 cup softened butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups flour

Recipe for lemon fudge (the top layer):
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup flour
4 eggs
2 lemon juiced (I basically bought lemon juice in a bottle and pour it, I didn't measure how much I used, but if you like lemon... ADD MORE!)

Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius
1. Combine greek yoghurt and softened butter together and mixed till it is smooth/creamed
2. Add in the sugar
3. Add in flour by 1/2 cup each time.
I suggest not to use a hand mixer. I used my hands to "kneed" the crust slowly. Probably the longest and most tiring process.
4. Press down the crust into your 9x13 inch pan
I used a much smaller pan because I was too lazy to wash my 9x13, and thus you can see from the picture that the crust & the fudge is actually quite thick. I should have halved my ingredients. You don't have to use baking paper because the crust do not really stick. Try to make it all even, even though it is pretty hard.
5. Put it in the oven for 15-20mins.
I put mine in for a good 20 because my crust was really thick and took longer to cook. While waiting, make your lemon fudge!
6. Combine sugar and flour together and mix it well.
7. Crack all the eggs together and add lemon juice
8. Once your crust is done, pour it over and put it back in the oven for another 20minutes (?)
I questioned mark the time because after 20minutes, mine turned out to be slightly burnt. It may be because of my lousy oven, but do check that it should not be burnt!
9. It will firm up as it cools down.
The edges of mine was pretty nice as as it cools down, it all firmed up. But the center of it was still slightly too watery. And I honestly blame it on my oven.

I'll try this recipe again another day in mind of things to be change:
- Change sugar to splenda
- Add more greek yoghurt instead of butter
- Halved my ingredients if I were to use the same pan for thinner crust & fudge
- Bake 2nd round at 18minutes
