Delicious and refreshing lemon crumb bars with a crumbly crust and zesty lemon filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar (for lemon filling)
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for lemon filling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of softened butter, 1/2 cup of sugar, salt, and baking powder. Mix until crumbly.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form an even crust.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1 cup of sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and 1/4 cup of flour until smooth.
- Pour the lemon filling over the crust in the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle any remaining crumb mixture over the top of the lemon filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the filling is set.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.
Notes
- Make sure to let the bars cool completely for easier cutting.
- For extra zest, consider using more lemon zest in the filling.
