How to Make Megan's Hush Hush Lemon Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the bars out later.
- For the crust: In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- For the lemon filling: While the crust is baking, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a medium bowl 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 brown around the edges.
- Let the lemon bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for optimal flavor and texture.
- Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy!
