Delightful lemon bars with a buttery crust and tangy lemon filling, topped with powdered sugar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the flour, softened butter, powdered sugar, and salt until it is crumbly. Press into the bottom of the prepared dish.
  3. Pop the dish into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the crust turns light golden.

  6. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the filling is set with a slight jiggle in the center.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Adjust sugar to taste.
