Lemony Lemon Bars Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the crust, cream the butter and sugar until light in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Combine the flour and salt and, with the mixer on low, add to the butter until just mixed. Dump the dough onto a well-floured board and gather into a ball. Flatten the dough with floured hands and press it into a 9 by 13 by 2-inch baking sheet, building up a 1/2-inch edge on all sides. Chill for 15 or 20 minutes.
  • Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes, until very lightly browned. Let cool on a wire rack. Leave the oven on. If you didn't know it, you DO NOT take the crust out of the pan. :-)
  • For the filling, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice. Add flour a little at a time and whisk into the mixture, slowly, as not to have any lumps. Pour over the crust and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the filling is set. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Cut into triangles or squares and dust with confectioners' sugar.
  • Note:If you like, you cna use parchment paper in the pan before you put in the crust, but remember to butter the pan and the paper.
