Equipment

  • 1 Propane Oven

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 cup Unsalted butter (2 sticks) melted
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp All-purpose flour

Filling

  • 3 large Eggs

  • 3 tbsp Flour 1
  • 1 tbsp Lemon zest
  • 1/3 cup Lemon juice about 2 lemons
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/4 cup Confectioners' sugar

Instructions
 

Crust

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • Line the bottom and sides of a 9×13 glass baking pan (do not use metal) with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished bars out
  • Combine melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the flour and stir to completely combine. The dough will be thick. Place crust firmly into prepared pan, making sure that it is even and nice.
  • Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Remove from the oven. Prick holes all over the warm crust with a fork (but do not go through the crust).

Filling

  • Whisk all the filling ingredients together until combined.
  • Pour filling over warm crust. Bake the bars for 20 minutes or until the center is relatively set and no longer jiggles.
  • Remove bars from the oven and cool completely at room temperature.
  • Once cool, lift the parchment paper out of the pan using the overhang on the sides.
  • Dust with confectioners’ sugar and cut into squares before serving.
