Whisk

Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Prepare the baking pan: Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, make sure the parchment paper is long enough to come over the sides, this will make it easy to pull out the bars.

Make the crust: In the bowl of your mixer add sugar and butter and beat using the paddle attachment until light. Add flour and salt and mix until the dough starts forming into a ball. It will still crumble easily.

Bake the crust: Dump the crumbled up crust dough into the prepared baking dish and flatten using your floured hands, sometimes I use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to help flatten it. Transfer the crust to the oven and bake it for 20 minutes, until very lightly browned, you&#039;ll start seeing the edges brown. Let it cool and leave the oven on.

Make the filling: Whisk together all the filling ingredients. Pour over the cooled crust.

Bake the lemon bars: Transfer the baking pan back to the oven and bake for another 30 to 35 minutes or until the filling is set. Let it cool at room temperature. Cut into triangles or squares and dust with powdered sugar.
