Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• ¾ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 4 large eggs
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• ⅔ cup fresh lemon juice
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour and ½ cup of powdered sugar. Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan and bake for 20 minutes or until lightly golden.
4. While the crust is baking, prepare the lemon filling. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, ¼ cup of all-purpose flour, and baking powder until well combined.
5. Pour the lemon mixture over the hot crust and return it to the oven. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
6. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar and cut into squares.
7. Enjoy your Zesty Lemon Bars Delight!
