Ingredients

Servings

Crust:

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar plus extra for dusting
  • Pinch salt
  • 6 tbsp butter cut into 1/4-inch pieces, cold unsalted

Lemon filling:

  • 1 ½ cups white sugar
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • ½ cup lemon juice fresh
  • 4 egg large

Instructions

  1. Adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Spray an 8 x 8-inch glass baking pan with cooking spray. Place a piece of parchment paper in the bottom of the pan, allowing the excess parchment paper to hang over the sides, to aid in removing the baked lemon bars from the pan. Spray the parchment paper with cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and butter and mix with a beater on medium-low speed until the mixture resembles coarse wet sand. Don't overmix or let the mixture come together into a dough.
  4. Firmly press the dough into the bottom of the pan. Place into the freezer for 15 minutes.
  5. Remove from the freezer and immediately place into the oven. Bake until light golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven and set it aside. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees.
  6. Meanwhile, make the filling. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and cornstarch until well combined. Add the lemon juice and eggs and whisk until combined. Strain the mixture directly onto the prepared crust.
  7. Place into the oven and bake 30 minutes, or until the filling does not jiggle when tapped. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then refrigerate for 2 hours to set.
  8. Cut the lemon bars into 9-12 squares. Sprinkle a bit of powdered sugar through a sieve over the top of the bars. Serve and enjoy.
