Zesty Lemon Delight Bars

Zesty Lemon Delight Bars

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup butter, softened
• ½ cup white sugar
• 1 ½ cups white sugar
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 4 eggs
• 2 lemons, juiced

Method

1. Begin by assembling your ingredients on the countertop.
2. Preheat your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
3. Create the crust by mixing 2 cups of all-purpose flour, softened butter, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar in a medium bowl until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
4. Firmly press the crust mixture into the base of a 9x13-inch baking dish that has not been greased.
5. Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until it is set and turns a lovely golden color.
6. While the crust is baking, prepare the lemon filling by whisking together 1 1/2 cups of sugar and 1/4 cup of flour in a different bowl. Then add eggs and fresh lemon juice, whisking until the mixture is completely smooth.
7. Once the crust is ready, pour the lemon filling evenly over the baked crust.
8. Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan; they will continue to firm as they cool.
9. After cooling, slice the bars into even squares for serving.
