  • Recipe Submitted by on

 Ingredients List

  • FOR THE CRUST:
  • 12 tablespoons cold butter , cut in small pieces
  • 6 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cup of lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

 Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Add the butter, sugar and flour to a food processor and let process for 20-30 seconds or until the dough comes together into a ball
Press into an 8x8 inch pan that you have lined with parchment paper.
Bake the crust for 22-25 minutes.
Combine the 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 4 eggs, lemon juice and zest in a large bowl and whisk well.

Let sit at least 15 minutes while the crust is baking.
Whisk again just before pouring it onto the crust in case any sugar settled at the bottom.
Put the pan back in the oven for 20-22 minutes.
You don't want the tops to brown, just to set.
The beauty of lemon bars is the beautiful, vibrant yellow color of them.
