Instructions
Get Prepped
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper, set aside.
Make the base
- Whisk flour, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Add the melted butter and stir to combine.
- Dump the dough into the prepared baking pan and press into an even layer over the entire bottom of the pan.
- Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes, until it just starts to brown.
Make the filling
- While the crust is baking, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, granulated sugar, salt, and zest in a large bowl. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then pour in the lemon juice. Whisk to combine until smooth and thick.
Bake
- Pour over the baked crust, and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the filling is set and barely jiggles when pan is shaken.
- Cool and dust with powdered sugar.
- Let bars cool completely in the pan.
- Lift the bar out of the pan and transfer to a cutting board. Dust bars with powdered sugar. Cut into bars and serve.
