I had a bunch of lemons sitting in my refrigerator, so I decided to make some lemon bars. I don”t have a square pan..so in truth, there are more lemon wedges š
Pastry:
- 190g flour
- 60g brown sugar
- 100g butter (melted)
- 15g grated lemon zest
Filling:
- 75ml lemon juice
- 200g powdered sugar
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 15g flour

Pastry
1. Combine flour, sugar, lemon zest and butter in a medium bowl. Stir until it combines to make a soft dough. If it is too soft, refrigerate for 15 minutes until firm. Preheat oven to 170 degrees Celsius.
2. Press dough into the bottom a 20 cm pie pan lined with cooking paper. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven.
Filling
1. Combine powdered sugar and flour in a medium bowl.
2. Whisk in beaten eggs and lemon juice until smooth.
3. Pour into baked pastry and return to oven.
4. Bake 5-6 minutes, then cover top of lemon bars with aluminum foil, and bake an additional 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set, and the top of the filling is a light golden brown.
5. Remove from oven and let cool thoroughly before cutting into wedges.
6. If you like, you can dust a bit of powdered sugar on top of the wedges.
Enjoy!
