Lemony, buttery, ooey-gooey, sweet, tart, luscious treats; are there any more words I can use to describe these lemon bars? Super easy, and quick to make, there’s no reason you shouldn’t get straight to baking. One of my favorite treats bursting with bright citrus flavor, these bars are delicious. The buttery crisp crust might just be what gets me the most. And a dusting of powdered sugar to top it off? Perfection!
Crust:
1 stick unsalted butter, refrigerator temp, cubed
1 cup flour
¼ cup powdered sugar
Filling:
½ cup lemon juice
3 eggs
1 ½ cup sugar
½ cup flour
1 tsp vanilla
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pulse crust ingredients in a food processor until small crumbs form. Press into an 8×8 pan, evenly. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
While cooling, whisk together filling ingredients. Pour over crust and bake for 25-30 minutes or until not jiggly in the center.
Let cool on a cooling rack, then transfer to fridge for at least 1 hour.
Remove from pan by loosening edges with a knife or sturdy spatula. Flip onto a cutting board, then flip onto another cutting board. Dust with powdered sugar and slice into squares. Transfer to a serving tray. Enjoy!
Store in the refrigerator.
