Mix Crust Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of powdered sugar, and ¼ tsp of salt. Mix well.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of granulated sugar and ¼ cup of all-purpose flour until well combined.
Add Eggs and Lemon Juice
Add 3 eggs, ½ cup of fresh lemon juice, and 1 tsp of lemon zest to the sugar mixture. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Bake the Lemon Bars
