Equipment

  • blender or mixing bowl
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • foil

Ingredients
  

For the crust

  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 5 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup cold cubed butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/3 tsp salt

For the filling

  • 3 eggs
  • 3 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 2 lemons
  • 1 cup sugar
  • powdered sugar (for decorating after baking)

Instructions
 

Crust

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a blender or mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, corn flour, salt, powdered sugar, and cubed butter. Blend or knead with your hands until the mixture forms fine crumbs.
  • Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with foil and evenly press the crumb mixture into the pan, forming a slight border (about ½ inch). Bake for 20 minutes until lightly golden.

Filling

  • Zest two lemons and squeeze out the juice. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, and all-purpose flour until smooth and lump-free.
  • Pour the lemon filling over the baked crust and return to the oven. Bake for 20 minutes for a softer texture or 30 minutes for a firmer consistency.
  • Remove from the oven and let the lemon bars cool for about 2 hours. This allows them to set properly for easier slicing.
  • Once fully cooled, dust with powdered sugar and cut into squares or rectangles.
