How to Make Luscious Lemon Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- While the crust is baking, whisk together 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup lemon juice, and 4 large eggs in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Pour the lemon filling over the hot crust.
- Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly browned.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before sprinkling with powdered sugar and cutting into squares.
