Lemon Bars Recipe
Lemon Bars is one of the most favored of recent trending meals on earth. It’s appreciated by millions every day. It is easy, it is fast, it tastes delicious. They’re fine and they look wonderful. Lemon Bars is something that I’ve loved my whole life.
To get started with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook lemon bars using 13 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Lemon Bars:
- Prepare For the Crust:
- Take 1/2 pound (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, each stick cut into 1/2 cubes (keep refrigerated until you put in food processor)
- Prepare 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- Get 2 cups all-purpose flour
- Make ready 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Prepare For the Filling:
- Make ready 5 extra-large eggs at room temperature (or 6 large)
- Get 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- Make ready 1.5 tablespoons grated lemon zest (3 to 5 lemons)
- Get 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Take 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Take 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Take Confectioners’ (powdered) sugar, for dusting
Instructions to make Lemon Bars:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- For the crust, put flour, sugar, and salt in food processor bowl and give it 6 or 7 quick pulses to aerate and evenly distribute all ingredients. - - Then add cold butter cubes straight out of the fridge, distributing them evenly over the dry mixture. Pulse food processor a few times to get everything started, then turn processor on and let the whole mixture go just until almost all of it is formed into a ball. (I say almost all because you invariably have cbs that don’t attach.)
- Dump the dough onto a floured surface and gather into a ball. Flatten the dough with floured hands and press it into a 12-inch tart pan, building up a 1/2-inch edge on all sides. Chill in freezer for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Prick the crust in several spots with a fork, then bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until very lightly browned. Let cool on a wire rack. Leave the oven on.
- For the filling, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and flour until all sugar and salt are completely dissolved. - - Pour into the crust, until it reaches just under the top of the edge (you may have a little left over) and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the filling is set. - - (I actually tend to like a roughly 60% to 40% filling to crust ratio, so I don’t always use all the filling anyway.)
- Let cool to room temperature. Cut into triangles or squares and dust with confectioners’ sugar. - - Enjoy!
