How to Make Citrus Bars From My Great Recipe Cards

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup powdered sugar in a large bowl.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  6. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  9. Pour the citrus mixture evenly over the baked crust.
  10. Bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden.
  11. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before sprinkling with powdered sugar and cutting into small bars.
