How to Make The Best Lemon Bars You Will Ever Eat
- 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.
- Make the crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crust evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- While the crust is baking, make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
- Pour the lemon filling over the baked crust.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Let the lemon bars cool completely in the pan before dusting with powdered sugar and cutting into squares. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for optimal flavor and texture.
