  • Lemon Bars Recipe (Easy) - The Carefree Kitchen

    If you're in the mood for a delightful sweet treat with a tangy twist, then lemon bars are the perfect option. This easy recipe will guide you through creating the most luscious lemon bars, perfect for any occasion.

    Ingredients:

    For the crust:

    • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • ½ cup granulated sugar
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • ¼ teaspoon salt

    For the lemon filling:

    • 4 large eggs
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
    • Zest of 1 lemon

    Instructions:

    1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until combined to form a crumbly dough. Press this mixture into the bottom of a greased baking tray to form the crust.
    3. Bake the crust for about 20 minutes, or until it's lightly golden.
    4. While the crust is baking, prepare the lemon filling. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
    5. Once the crust is done, remove it from the oven and pour the lemon filling evenly over the top. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until the filling is set and slightly golden.
    6. Allow the lemon bars to cool completely before cutting them into squares. Dust with icing sugar for a beautiful finish.

    These lemon bars are not only simple to make but are sure to impress with their vibrant flavour and buttery crust. Perfect for a sunny afternoon tea or as a zesty dessert to brighten any meal!
