Description

Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• 2 sticks (1/2 lb) butter, unsalted and at room temperature
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• pinch of salt
• 6 eggs, at room temperature
• 3 cups white sugar
• 2 tbsp grated lemon zest
• 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon
• 1 cup all purpose flour

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees.
• Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, make sure the parchment paper is long enough to come over the sides, this will make it easy to pull out the bars.
• In the bowl of your mixer add sugar and butter and beat using the paddle attachment until light. Add flour and salt and mix until the dough starts forming into a ball. It will still crumble easily.
• Dump the dough into the prepared baking dish and flatten using your floured hands. I straightened mine out with a spatula, but its not necessary.
• Bake the crust for 20 minutes, until very lightly browned, youll start seeing the edges brown. Let it cool and leave the oven on.
• To make the filling, whisk together all the filling ingredients. Pour over cooled crust and bake for another 30 to 35 minutes or until the filling is set. Let cool at room temperature.
• Cut into triangles or squares and dust with powdered sugar.
