Delicious lemon bars with a buttery crust and a zesty lemon filling, perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.
  2. Mix together the flour and powdered sugar. Cut in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust.
  3. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  4. Whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and baking powder in another bowl until well combined and smooth.
  5. Pour the lemon mixture over the baked crust, ensuring an even layer.
  6. Bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the lemon filling is set and lightly browned around the edges.
  7. Cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar and cutting into squares.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
