Ingredients
Method
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix together softened butter, flour, granulated sugar, and salt until a crumbly dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
Prepare the Filling: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, lemon juice, flour, and lemon zest until smooth.
Pour and Bake: Pour the lemon filling over the pre-baked crust. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly browned.
Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar. Cut into squares and serve.
