How to Make Lemon Bar Crust

  • Evenly coat the foil with cooking spray.
  • Mix flour, baker's sugar, and melted butter in a large bowl until blended. Press in the pan.
  • Bake until lightly browned for about 20-25 minutes.

How to Make Lemon Bar Filling

  • Mix sugar, baking powder, flour, and salt in a large bowl until well blended. Add the lemon juice, lemon peel zest, and eggs. Mix thoroughly.
  • Pour filling over baked crust and bake for about 20 minutes until the topping sets and the edges are lightly browned.
  • Remove from oven, allow to cool completely, and dust with powdered sugar. Cut into squares or bars and enjoy!
