How to Make Rich Lemon Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup powdered sugar.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a lightly greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- While the crust is baking, in a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 cup fresh lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour.
- Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the lemon filling evenly over the baked crust.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly browned around the edges.
- Let the lemon bars cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set completely.
- Once chilled, cut into bars and sprinkle with additional powdered sugar.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
