Easy Lemon Bar Recipe

I’ve had numerous requests for me to share an Easy Lemon Bar Recipe on my site, and since I’m always ready to please the masses, here is my ultimate Lemon Bar recipe!

I combined my favorite buttery crust from these Pecan Pie Bars and my lemon bar filling from my Lemon Bar Magic Cake.

So you know this Frankenstein dessert is filled with absolute goodness!

The filling is thick and creamy, with a silky smooth texture and the perfect balance of sweet and tart.

The key to making these easily is by placing all the ingredients to your crust into a food processor and letting the machine do all the work to blend the cold butter with the flour.

Then you just press the dough into a 9×13″ pan and let it bake for about 15 minutes.

While the crust is baking combine all the ingredients for the lemon bar filling in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour this over your crust and bake!

Once the bars are cooled you’re ready to slice and serve!

Don’t forget to give them a generous dusting of powdered sugar!

This is one delicious and easy Lemon Bar recipe that you’ll want to save and make over and over again!

• Yield: 24 bars 1x
• Category: Dessert
• Method: Baked
• Cuisine: American

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1 cup cold butter, cut into tiny pieces
• 6 tbsp brown sugar
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp lemon juice

For the Filling:

• 6 large eggs
• 3 cups sugar
• 2 tbsp lemon zest
• 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 cup all purpose flour

Topping:

• Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9×13″ pan with parchment paper or tinfoil so the paper comes over the edges of the pan, making it easier to remove the bars once cooled.

For the Crust:

1. Combine the ingredients for the crust in a large bowl and use a pastry cutter to make a coarse and crumbly mixture. Alternatively you can place the ingredients into your food processor and pulse until mixture becomes crumbly.
2. Press the mixture into an even layer in the prepared 9×13″ pan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a pale golden brown.

For the Filling:

1. While the crust is baking combine the ingredients for the filling in a large bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour mixture over the crust and bake for an additional 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is set.
2. Let bars cool completely and then lift out of the pan by holding the sides of the paper and lifting straight up. Cut into bars and dust with powdered sugar. Keep refrigerated. Enjoy!
