Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Lemon Bars.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and greasing a 9x13-inch baking pan to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1/3 cup of powdered sugar, and 3/4 cup of softened butter.
Step 3
Mix these ingredients together until they form a smooth dough that feels just right.
Step 4
Now, gently press this dough evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking pan, creating a lovely crust that will hold all that zesty goodness.
Step 5
Pop the crust into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 20 minutes, then take it out while keeping the oven warm for the next step.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of white sugar, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons of flour until the mixture is silky smooth.
Step 7
Pour this bright and tangy lemon filling over your beautifully baked crust, spreading it evenly for a delightful finish.
Step 8
Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until the filling is set and has a lovely golden hue.
Step 9
Once it’s done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely for about 30 minutes.
Step 10
To add a touch of sweetness, dust the top with powdered sugar before cutting it into 16 tempting bars.
Step 11
Enjoy the burst of lemony flavor in every bite!.
