How to Make Microwave Lemon Bars
- In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- Add 4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted butter, melted, and mix until a crumbly dough forms.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom of a square 8x8 inch microwave-safe dish.
- Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest.
- Pour the lemon mixture over the baked crust.
- Microwave on high for 6-8 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. (Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave; start with 6 minutes and add more time in 30-second increments if needed).
- Let cool completely before cutting into bars. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for optimal firmness.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
