Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Lemon Bars.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all the essential ingredients for your delightful lemon bars.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) to create the perfect baking environment.
Step 3
For the crust, in a medium bowl, blend together 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of softened butter, and 1/2 cup of sugar until the mixture is smooth and cohesive.
Step 4
Gently press this buttery blend into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13-inch baking pan, ensuring an even layer.
Step 5
Slide the pan into the preheated oven and let it bake for about 15 minutes, or until the crust turns a lovely golden brown and feels firm to the touch.
Step 6
While the crust is baking, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of sugar and 1/4 cup of flour in another medium bowl.
Step 7
Incorporate the eggs and fresh lemon juice, whisking until the filling is silky and well combined.
Step 8
Once the crust has reached perfection, pour the luscious lemon filling over it, allowing it to spread evenly.
Step 9
Return the pan to the oven for an additional 20 minutes, letting the aroma of lemon fill your kitchen.
Step 10
After baking, take the pan out and let it cool completely; the bars will set beautifully as they cool.
Step 11
Once cooled, slice the lemon bars into neat squares, ready to be enjoyed.
Step 12
These zesty treats are perfect for sharing or savoring all on your own.
