Lemon Bar Ingredients

Method

Lemon Bar Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually mix in the flour until just combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.

  2. 2

    Bake the Base

    Bake the base in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and baking powder until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine and Bake

    Pour the lemon filling over the cooled crust. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly browned on top.

  5. 5

    Cool and Serve

    Let the lemon bars cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar before cutting into squares and serving.
