Equipment

- 1 cup melted butter
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt

Lemon Curd
- 4 large eggs
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cups lemon juice
Instructions
Graham Cracker Crust
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a greased 9x13 pan with parchment paper.
- Pulse the butter, ½ cup sugar, salt, and graham crackers in the food processor until combined.
- Press the crust into the baking dish and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden.
Lemon Curd
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and lemon juice together.
- Add in the sugar and flour and whisk well.
- Pour over the baked crust and bake the entire dessert for 20 minutes.
- Allow the bars to cool for an hour before cutting.
- Sprinkle the bars with powdered sugar.
Notes
- Your lemon bars will be a pale yellow color so don’t worry if they aren’t a bright yellow. Some people add yellow food coloring to make them bright yellow.
- If you notice a white “film” on the lemon bars, that is perfectly normal. The eggs in the lemon curd create bubbles as they cook, which rise to the surface.
- You will know that your lemon bars are done by wiggling the baking dish after baking. If the lemon curd wiggles, it is done! It should not be runny.
