Lemon bar base ingredients: 1/2c butter softened to room temperature 1/3 cup powdered sugar 1c all purpose flour Lemon bar base directions: Preheat oven to 325f/160c. In a large bowl cream butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and mix until well blended. Add half of flour and mix well. Add remaining flour and mix until large crumbs form and the dough begins to come together. Line an 8x8 pan with parchment. Press the dough into the pan, ensuring you get it as even as possible. Bake 16-18 minutes in 325f/160c oven until the edges are golden brown. After removing from oven carefully poke holes in (but not through) the crust. This helps the filling stick to the base. Lemon bar filling ingredients: 3 large eggs 1/3c fresh lemon juice 1 tsp fresh lemon zest 3/4c sugar 3tbs flour Lemon bar filling directions: In a large bowl mix eggs, lemon juice and zest until combined. Add sugar and sifted flour. Mix until well combined, 2-3 minutes. Pour over baked crust and return to the oven to bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the lemon filling is just set. It should be a little jiggly in the middle. Allow baked bars to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes and then chill 4 hours before cutting and serving. After chilling dust top with powdered sugar and cut into squares. Enjoy! Join us next week as we share more easy recipes and step by step recipe videos. Thanks for watching!
