Ingredients
For the Crust
- ½ cup sugar granulated
- ½ pound butter unsalted, at room temperature (2 sticks)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
For the Filling
- 6 large eggs at room temperature
- 3 cups sugar granulated
- 2 tablespoon lemon zest grated
- 1 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, make sure the parchment paper is long enough to come over the sides, this will make it easy to pull out the bars.
- In the bowl of your mixer add sugar and butter and beat using the paddle attachment until light. Add flour and salt and mix until the dough starts forming into a ball. It will still crumble easily.
- Dump the crumbled up crust dough into the prepared baking dish and flatten using your floured hands, sometimes I use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to help flatten it. Transfer the crust to the oven and bake it for 20 minutes, until very lightly browned, you'll start seeing the edges brown. Let it cool and leave the oven on.
- Whisk together all the filling ingredients. Pour over the cooled crust.
- Transfer the baking pan back to the oven and bake for another 30 to 35 minutes or until the filling is set. Let it cool at room temperature. Cut into triangles or squares and dust with powdered sugar.

Notes
- Lemon Zest: Ensure to use fresh lemon zest for a flavorful punch. Avoid the white pith as it can be bitter.
- Pan Lining: Don’t skip lining your pan with parchment paper; it makes removal so much easier.
- Cooling Time: Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting to get clean, sharp edges.
- Powdered Sugar: Dusting with powdered sugar is optional but recommended for added sweetness and presentation.
- Serving Size: These can be cut into squares or triangles, depending on preference. Keep in mind the richness when deciding on the serving size!
