Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch square pan with parchment paper.
- First make shortbread crust. In a mixing bowl, add melted butter, gluten free flour, sugar and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
- Once combined, press this shortbread mixture down into the lined pan. Bake the crust for 20 minutes.
- As soon as the crust comes out of the oven, lightly pierce holes all over. Do not press all the way down, just slightly.
- Next, make the filling. Add sifted flour to a mixing bowl. Then, add in all remaining filling ingredients except powdered sugar. Stir until sugar has completely dissolved and no clumps of flour remain.
- Pour this lemon filling mixture down over warm crust.
- Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until the middle is set.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow bars to fully cool before topping with powdered sugar. Slice and serve.
Notes
- I recommend an 8 inch baking pan for this recipe. It makes both layers a little more thick than a 9 inch square pan. If using 9 inch, the layers will be slightly less thick.
- Line with parchment paper. This helps remove the bars from the pan once cooled.
- Pierce the crust with fork allows lightly. Do not push all the way through.
- For best flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice. About 2 large lemons is sufficient.
- Bake until middle is no longer jiggly.
- Allow bars to fully cool before garnishing with powdered sugar.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
