How to Make Arizona Lemon Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until just combined. Press the dough into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- While the crust is baking, prepare the lemon filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in the lemon juice and zest until smooth. Whisk in the eggs until well combined.
- Pour the lemon filling over the hot crust.
- Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting into squares.
- Serve as is, or top with lemon sherbet, whipped cream, and a mint leaf.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
