How to Make Lemon Almond Bars
- **Make the Crust:** Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- **Make the Lemon Topping:** While the crust bakes, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons lemon zest, and ½ cup fresh lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the lemon mixture evenly over the baked crust.
- Sprinkle ½ cup sliced almonds over the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is set and lightly golden.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
