Lemon Bars earlier this year

 I tried these and I don't think they were perfect but we couldn't stop eating them. B wanted me to keep it. I can compare with others Ive tried.

Crust

  • 2 cups + 2 tbsp (276g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (115g) powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup (224g) unsalted butter, melted
Filling
  • 2 1/2 cups (518g) granulated sugar* 
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 7 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240ml) fresh lemon juice (4-5 lemons)
  • Pinch salt
Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line the bottom and sides of a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper that sticks up above the sides of the pan, so that you can remove the bars later for easy cutting. Set pan aside.
  2. To make the crust, combine the flour, powdered sugar and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract and stir to combine completely.
  4. Crumble and distribute over the bottom of the pan and press evenly into the bottom so that it’s even.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are just getting lightly browned. Remove from oven and set aside.
  6. To make the filling, combine the sugar and flour. Add the eggs, lemon juice and salt and whisk together to combine. Don’t over mix. 
  7. Pour the filling on top of the crust and bake for 18-22 minutes or until relatively set. Remove from the oven and cool for 15-20 minutes on the counter, then refrigerate until cold and firm.
  8. Remove bars from pan and dust with powdered sugar, then cut into squares. Bars are best when stored well covered, and they’ll last for 5-6 days.
