How to Make Lemon Custard Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray and wipe with a paper towel.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine crust ingredients (see below) and mix until a crumbly dough forms. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the topping ingredients (see below) until smooth.
  5. Pour the custard topping evenly over the prepared crust.
  6. Bake for 27-30 minutes, or until the custard is set and lightly golden around the edges.
  7. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
