Description

A quick and easy recipe that makes a cookie sheet of lemon bars (cuts into 48 pieces).

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CRUST:
  • 3-½ cups Flour
  • ¾ cups Icing Sugar
  • 3 sticks Melted Butter Or Margarine
  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • 6 whole Eggs
  • ¾ cups Lemon Juice
  • 3 cups Sugar
  • 6 Tablespoons Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 dash Salt
  • Powdered Sugar, For Dusting

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Mix the crust ingredients together in a medium sized bowl then pat it into a 13x18x1 pan that you’ve sprayed lightly with baking spray. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until light brown. Remove from oven and set aside. Keep the oven on.

For the filling: In a large bowl, beat the eggs until slightly thick, about 3-4 minutes. Add the lemon juice and mix.

In a medium sized bowl stir together the dry ingredients (sugar, flour, baking powder and salt) then add this into the eggs. Mix well. Pour over hot crust, smooth the top and bake 20 minutes longer.

When done remove it from the oven and set the pan on a rack. Cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar. Cut around the edges while still warm. Cool and slice.

I was looking for a lemon bar recipe to make for dessert trays, this is a very good recipe as the crust holds together well for cutting into triangles. I halved the recipe (18 servings) for a 9×9 pan to try out and used the full recipe (36 servings) for a 13×9 pan as I like a slightly thicker bar. I added 1/4 tsp salt to crust for 9×9 and 1/2 tsp salt for 13×9 as I used unsalted butter. I also added 1 tsp zest to 9×9 pan and 1 tbsp zest to 13×9 pan to bump up the lemon taste of the filling. Line the pans with parchment paper for easier lifting out of pan and cutting. I baked 5 minutes longer for 9×9 and 10 minutes longer for 13×9 as it was slightly jiggly after 20 minutes. I cut mine into 2″ squares, then across for triangles, I usually get 24 triangles from a 9×9 as I don’t use corner pieces, and 48 from a 13×9. Thanks for a great recipe!
