Delightful lemon bars with a perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors, featuring a buttery, crumbly crust.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.
  2. Combine the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl, then cut in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared dish and bake for 15 minutes.
  4. Whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and baking powder until smooth.
  5. Pour the lemon mixture over the baked crust and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until set and slightly golden.
  6. Allow the bars to cool completely in the baking dish. Dust with powdered sugar and cut into squares.
  7. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Notes

For best results, use fresh lemon juice and zest. Let the bars cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
