EASY LEMON BAR RECIPE
These easy Lemon Bars have a buttery bottom crust, a thick and creamy topping with a silky smooth texture and the perfect balance of sweet and tart.
Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: 55 min
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Yield: 24 bars
INGREDIENTS
For the Crust:
1 cup cold butter, cut into tiny pieces
6 tbsp brown sugar
3 cups all purpose flour
1 large egg
1 tsp lemon juice
For the Filling:
6 large eggs
3 cups sugar
2 tbsp lemon zest
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup all purpose flour
Topping:
Powdered sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9×13″ pan with parchment paper or tinfoil so the paper comes over the edges of the pan, making it easier to remove the bars once cooled.
For the Crust:
Combine the ingredients for the crust in a large bowl and use a pastry cutter to make a coarse and crumbly mixture. Alternatively you can place the ingredients into your food processor and pulse until mixture becomes crumbly.
Press the mixture into an even layer in the prepared 9×13″ pan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a pale golden brown.
For the Filling:
While the crust is baking combine the ingredients for the filling in a large bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour mixture over the crust and bake for an additional 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is set.
Let bars cool completely and then lift out of the pan by holding the sides of the paper and lifting straight up. Cut into bars and dust with powdered sugar. Keep refrigerated. Enjoy!
