Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and softened butter. Mix until crumbly.
-
Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating an even crust layer. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until lightly golden.
-
While the crust is baking, prepare the lemon filling. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, baking powder, salt, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.
-
Once the crust is baked, pour the lemon filling over the warm crust.
-
Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set.
-
Allow the lemon bars to cool completely in the dish before cutting into squares.
-
Dust the tops of the bars with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
