Lemon Bars Recipe

Here is a quicker and easier way to make the lemony delight! Some people like to eat them straight out of the oven, other’s like them chilled with a dollop of whipped cream. My personal favorite is warm lemon bars with a lovely scoop of vanilla ice cream!


Ingredients

• 1 1/2 Cups all purpose flour
• 1/3rd Cup butter
• 1/4th Cup caster sugar
• 1/2 Teaspoon baking powder
• 2 Eggs
• Juice and zest of one lemon
• 1/2 Teaspoon vanilla essence
• Icing sugar for dusting

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius 10 minutes before baking.
2. Combine the flour and softened butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3. Stir in the caster sugar, baking powder, eggs , lemon juice , zest and vanilla and mix thoroughly.
4. Press down in a lightly oiled baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the surface becomes lightly golden in colour but is still slightly wobbly.
5. Remove from the oven , cool and dust with icing sugar!
