Homemade Lemon Bars

Ingredients (Serves 12):

  • For the crust:

    • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed) or vegan butter
  • For the lemon filling:

    • 3 large eggs (or 3/4 cup aquafaba for a vegan option)
    • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)
    • Zest of 1 lemon
    • A pinch of salt
  • For dusting:

    • Powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Crust:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
    • In a bowl, combine flour and sugar. Add cold butter cubes and mix with a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
    • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool.
  2. Prepare the Lemon Filling:

    • In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, and flour until smooth. Add lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
    • Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
  3. Bake:

    • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch.
    • Allow the lemon bars to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  4. Finish and Serve:

    • Once chilled, dust the top with powdered sugar (if desired) and slice into squares or rectangles. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Pro Tips:

  • Zest first: Always zest the lemons before juicing them for maximum efficiency.
  • Avoid soggy crusts: Ensure the crust is fully baked and cooled before adding the filling.
  • Tartness level: Adjust sugar slightly to match your preferred sweetness-to-tartness ratio.

These Homemade Lemon Bars are perfect for any occasion, from picnics to dinner parties. 🍋 Enjoy the zesty goodness!
