Lemon Bars

Post date: 03 Jan 2018

Based on Slate’s recipe. We frequently substitute in Meyer lemons for regular ones, which is amazing.

For the crust:

• Mix together and blend into a coarse meal
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar, plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
• Press into a 9-inch greased pan.
• Bake at 350F until edges are brown (~20 minutes)

For the filling:

• Whisk until smooth
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups sugar
• Stir in until just combined
  • 1 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons grated lemon zest
• Fold in
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Pour filing into baked crust and bake until firm at 315F (~45 minutes).
