Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar, more to taste (optional)
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 4 eggs + 1 egg yolk, beaten
  • 2/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • zest from 2 lemons
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp coarse salt

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until it's light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Add the flour and mix just until it's combined.
  • Press the crust mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 11x7 baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is firm and starting to brown. Remove from the oven and cool the crust to room temperature.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the flour and sugar together to completely combine. Add the eggs, lemon juice and zest, and mix thoroughly.
  • Pour the lemon filling over the crust and bake for another 20 minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  • Dust the top of the bars with the powdered sugar. Cut into bars and serve.
