LEMON BARS WITH SHORTBREAD CRUST



Lemon Bars With Shortbread Crust image

These are among my favorite desserts. The Shortbread Crust is simplified by using melted butter. Original Source: Allrecipes.com "Lemon Square Bars" by Ralph. I reduced the white sugar in the topping to about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups. This works well with Meyer Lemons too -- reduce the white sugar in the topping to about 1 1/4 - 1 1/3 Cup as the Meyer Lemon juice is a bit sweeter.

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup butter, melted
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder (I use Rumford without aluminum)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
5/8 cup lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch pan, making sure you grease the sides of the pan very well.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together 2 cups flour and confectioners' sugar until well-blended. (If the confectioner's sugar is lumpy, sift or push it through a strainer to get the lumps out.).
  • Blend in the melted butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Bake this (shortbread crust) in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until golden.
  • In a large bowl, beat eggs until light.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the white sugar, baking powder and 1/4 cup of flour so there will be no flour lumps. Stir the sugar mixture into the eggs.
  • Finally, stir in the lemon juice. Pour over the prepared crust and return to the oven.
  • Bake for an additional 30 minutes or until bars are set. Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line the bottom and sides of a 9×13 baking pan* with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished bars out (makes cutting easier!). Set aside.
  • Mix the melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add the flour and stir to completely combine. The dough will be thick. Press firmly into prepared pan, making sure the layer of crust is nice and even. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Remove from the oven. Using a fork, poke holes all over the top of the warm crust (not all the way through the crust). A new step I swear by, this helps the filling stick and holds the crust in place. Set aside until step 4.
  • Sift the sugar and flour together in a large bowl. Whisk in the eggs, then the lemon juice until completely combined.
  • Pour filling over warm crust. Bake the bars for 22-26 minutes or until the center is relatively set and no longer jiggles. (Give the pan a light tap with an oven mitt to test.) Remove bars from the oven and cool completely at room temperature. I usually cool them for about 2 hours at room temperature, then stick in the refrigerator for 1-2 more hours until pretty chilled. I recommend serving chilled.
