I love lemon and these lemon bars are so easy from Simple Simon and Company! I use my stand mixer to make the crust and filling, which is less mess to pick up! Enjoy!
Ingredients for Crust
2 sticks unsalted butter (I melt in the microwave for 30 seconds.)
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups flour
Ingredients for Filling
6 eggs
1 cup flour
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 cup lemon juice (I use the lemons I zested for the juice and will sometimes use bottle lemon juice to fill up the 1 cup. Use a mesh strainer to make sure the seeds don't get in your filling.)
Powdered sugar (to dust on top once the bars have cooled)
Instructions
Mix the crust ingredients in your stand mixer until they are in crumbles. Then, transfer the crust mixture to a 9x13 dish and use your hands to meld and press the mix into a crust. Cook on 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
While the crust is cooking, mix all of the filling ingredients in your stand mixer.
When the crust is done, pour the filling on top of the crust and cook for another 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
Once the lemon bars have cooled for 30 minutes or more, dust with powdered sugar and serve!
