Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
– 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
– 1 tbsp lemon zest
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– Powdered sugar for dusting
Details to follow:
- Prepare the crust by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). The graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and a quarter cup of sugar should be mixed together in a mixing basin. Mix until it has the consistency of wet sand.
- Make sure to press the mixture firmly into a 9×9-inch baking dish that has been oiled or coated with parchment paper. Take the dish out of the oven and let it cool for ten minutes.
2. Prepare the lemon filling by combining the following ingredients in a separate bowl: eggs, one cup of sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and flour. Shake the mixture until it is smooth. - In order to bake the lemon bars, first pour the lemon filling over the crust that has been allowed to cool. Bake for twenty to twenty-five minutes, or until the filling has become firm and is no longer prone to jiggling in the middle.
- The bars should be allowed to completely cool before being placed in the refrigerator for a minimum of two hours before being served. Add a dusting of powdered sugar to the surface before cutting into squares.
