What's your favorite citrus to cook with?

Followed instructions exactly, my lemon layer did not firm up, not even a little. Read the reviews after (should have first) and baked another 10 minutes and we'll see what happens! These things are kind of a fail all round!

This is an amazing recipe I make this recipe all of the time!

Perfect recipe for lemon bars! My family absolutely loved them! They are perfect for party finger food or just for a Saturday-night dessert with the family. It’s my favorite dessert in the whole wide world. This recipe isn’t too sour or artificial-tasting like some lemon bar recipes. It’s very easy to make! 😊😊

Easy Lemon Bars Recipe

+ 2 tbsp (276 grams) all-purpose flour

(115 grams) powdered sugar

tsp salt

vanilla

(224 grams) unsalted butter, melted

(518 grams) granulated sugar*

(65 grams) all-purpose flour

(240 milliliters) fresh lemon juice (4-5 lemons)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line the bottom and sides of a 9&#215;13 baking pan with parchment paper that sticks up above the sides of the pan, so that you can remove the bars later for easy cutting. Set pan aside.

To make the crust, combine the flour, powdered sugar and salt in a medium bowl.

Add the melted butter and vanilla extract and stir to combine completely.

Crumble and distribute over the bottom of the pan and press evenly into the bottom so that it’s even.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are just getting lightly browned. Remove from oven and set aside.

To make the filling, combine the sugar and flour. Add the eggs, lemon juice and salt and whisk together to combine. Don’t over mix. 

Pour the filling on top of the crust and bake for 18-22 minutes or until relatively set. Remove from the oven and cool for 15-20 minutes on the counter, then refrigerate until cold and firm.

Remove bars from pan and dust with powdered sugar, then cut into squares. Bars are best when stored well covered, and they&#8217;ll last for 5-6 days.

Just made these today! They are simply DIVINE &lt;3. I&#039;m amazed at how much lemon is present throughout the dessert with only the juice used, hits you right in the back of the throat haha!

This recipe is so easy and is so good that you can't stop eating them. I've made this recipe two days in a row!!! Love it

Make these easy, vegan lemon lavender bars for your next dinner party. This light and aromatic dessert will impress all your guests, even if they aren't vegan.

Vegan Lemon Lavender Bars

Sugar

½ Cup Vegan Butter, melted

¼ Cup All-Purpose Flour

Tbsp Ground Lavender, culinary grade

Salt

Cup Sugar

½ Cup Cornstarch

Lemon lemons

¼ Cup Califia Farms Oat Barista Blend

turmeric, little less than 1/8th tsp

¼ Cup Vegan Butter

Flour

Preheat Oven to 350F

Line an 8x8 baking tray with parchment paper leaving some of the parchment paper hanging from the edges. This will make it easier to take your lemon bars out.

For the shortbread

In a bowl, add sugar and melted butter. Whisk until combined. Add your flour, ground lavender, and salt. Using a rubber spatula, mix until combined and it forms a dough.

Bake the Shortbread

Press it out until it’s evenly spread out. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes. Once finished baking, remove from the oven and set aside to cool while you make your lemon curd.

For the Lemon Curd

In a saucepan, add the sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, turmeric, and Califia Farms Oat Barista Blend. Whisk it until it’s well mixed. 

Heat the Curd

Heat the mixture up over a stove on medium heat and keep whisking until it starts to thicken and form a custard-like consistency. Be sure to scrape the sides as you are mixing. Once it’s thickened up to a custard-like consistency, remove it from the heat. 

Finish the Curd

Add your vegan butter and mix it in until the butter has melted and is combined. Carefully fold in your flour until it’s just combined, being sure not to over mix.

Assemble the Lemon Curd

Pour your lemon curd over your lavender shortbread and spread it out evenly with a rubber spatula or spoon. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. 

Store the Bars

Once it's cooled down a bit, chill in the fridge for 1 hour or until the lemon curd has firmed up a bit. Cut into 9 large bars or 16 small squares. Dust on some powdered sugar and enjoy!

Recipe of the Day: Lavender Lemon Bars

These family friendly no fail easy Lemon Bars come together quickly with a three ingredient graham cracker crust and microwave lemon curd.

Nonstick cooking spray

graham cracker crumbs

butter

cream cheese

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray 9 x 13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In small bowl combine graham cracker crumbs, 6 tablespoons melted butter and 2 tablespoons sugar. Press evenly into baking dish.

Melt 4 tablespoons butter and allow to cool for 5 minutes. In medium microwavable bowl combine 1/2 cup sugar and egg yolks until smooth. Whisk in lemon juice, lemon zest and melted butter. Microwave in one minute intervals, stirring after each minute until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Curd will thicken more as it cools.

In stand mixer with paddle attachment mix 1/2 cup sugar and cream cheese until smooth. Turn mixer to low; add lemon juice and 1 egg at a time mixing just until incorporated. Pour cream cheese mixture over graham cracker crust.

Using lemon curd make three lines the length of the baking dish going all the way to the edge. Using a shish kabeb stick or chop sticks make small S&#8217;s through each line. Don&#8217;t go too deep as you do not want to disturb the crust. Bake 35-40 minutes or until set in the center.

Cool completely before slicing.  For best results refrigerate for several hours up to overnight.

Great recipe!  I can't wait for my kiddos to try it too.

I am obsessed with cheesecake at the moment and I love that these come in bars. Yum!

These lemon bars look incredibly delicious. Just want to pluck one out of there.

What a great way to make lemon curd.  I've never thought to use the microwave but it's a great and fast  idea.

I LOVE everything lemon and these lemon bars are my new favorite! So easy and so tasty!

Wow! Looks perfect! A must-try for everyone. Thanks for sharing your amazing recipe.

BEST Easy Lemon Bars (Winning Recipe)

(1 cup

(240 g) all purpose flour

(50 g) powdered sugar

(400 grams) granulated sugar

(2 g) baking powder

(36 g) all purpose flour

(57.5 g) fresh lemon juice

 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9X13 in baking pan with butter. 

 Make the shortbread dough. With an electric mixer, on medium speed, combine butter and sugar and beat until smooth. Sift in salt and flour and mix on low seed to combine. Dough will be a bit crumbly. Pat dough into prepared baking pan and bake for 15 minutes.

Take out of oven and set aside to cool. 

In the meantime, make the lemon filling.  With an electric mixer, on medium speed, mix the eggs and sugar until creamy texture and pale yellow in color. Add the flour, baking powder, lemon juice, lemon zest and mix on low speed until smooth.

Pour mixture over prepared crust and bake for 25 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool about 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least one to two hours. Sprinkle top with extra powdered sugar. Cut into squares and serve! 

Wow!  These are very tasty. Just what I was looking for in a lemon square. My only mistake was not baking them quite long enough. (I’m also working with a temperamental oven).  I should have done a knife test. They were just a bit too wet even though the edges were lightly browned BUT the flavour was amazing. No need for the icing sugar on top but it does make them pretty!

Ina Garten’s Lemon Bars (Easy Recipe)

butter,

flour

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175°C).

Place a foil or parchment paper in a 9 x 13-inch pan. Spray the lined pan with a thin layer of non-stick cooking spray.

Combine the butter and sugar until they’re thoroughly blended. Next, add the flour and salt to the mixture. Continue mixing until the dough forms.

Flatten the dough firmly into the prepared pan to form the crust.

Bake crust at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Once the crust is out of the oven, set it aside and let it cool.

Mix the eggs, granulated sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and flour in a large bowl. Whisk until smooth and perfectly blended (strain if it looks a bit lumpy).

Pour the mixture into the warm crust. Bake the bars for 30 to 35 minutes or until the filling is set (it will look jiggly but not watery).

Let the bars cool for 2 hours at room temperature. Then, refrigerate them for at least an hour before serving.

Pull the parchment paper to loosen the bars from the pan. Dust the whole thing with powdered sugar before slicing it into squares. Serve and enjoy!
