Did you know October 15 is National Lemon Bar Day?
Here's a sweet recipe from Food Network that's perfect for a weekend, a gathering, or just because!
Homemade Lemon Bars 🍋 Makes 20 squares or 40 triangles.
For the crust:
• 1/2 pound unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 cups flour
• 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
For the filling:
• 6 extra-large eggs, room temperature
• 3 cups sugar
• 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest (4–6 lemons)
• 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 cup flour
• Confectioners' sugar for dusting
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Combine flour and salt, then gradually mix into the butter mixture on low speed until combined.
4. Transfer dough to a floured surface, gather into a ball, and press into a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking pan, building a 1/2-inch edge around the sides. Chill for 15 minutes.
5. Bake for 15–20 minutes until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack, leaving the oven on.
6. Whisk together the filling ingredients, pour over the crust, and bake for 30–35 minutes until set.
7. Cool completely, cut into squares or triangles, and dust with confectioners' sugar.
Enjoy! 😋
