Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, blend together 1.5 cups flour, softened butter, and 0.25 cup sugar. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and golden.
- In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups sugar, 0.25 cup flour, eggs, and lemon juice. Pour over the baked crust.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes. Bars will firm up as they cool.
- Once cooled, sprinkle with lemon zest and powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
Make sure to use fresh lemons for the best flavor. Allow bars to cool completely before cutting.
