Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup lemon juice

Make the Filling:
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, flour, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and frothy.
Assemble and Bake:
  1. Pour the lemon mixture over the pre-baked crust.
  2. Bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the filling is set.
Cool and Serve:
  1. Let the bars cool completely, then sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar.
  2. Slice into squares or rectangles and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor.
  • Chill the bars before slicing for clean edges.
  • Avoid overbaking to maintain a creamy filling.
