Easy Lemon Bars Recipe | Just 5 INGREDIENTS! | Lemon Squares



Easy Lemon Bars Recipe | Just 5 INGREDIENTS!
:: Cook Me Food ::

This lemon bar recipe is carefully crafted to have a better crust-to-filling ratio for best flavor. It only needs 5 ingredients that you most likely already have at home. They’re easy lemon bars with buttery and crisp shortbread crust topped with delicious tangy lemon curd filling.

You’ll need:
CRUST:
• ¾ cup salted butter (room temperature)
• ¼ cup + 2 tbsp white sugar
• 1 ½ cup + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled * see note below)

FILLING:
• 1 ½ cup white sugar
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup lemon juice (4 large lemons) + OPTIONAL:1 tbsp lemon zest (2 large lemons)
• 4 medium eggs (room temperature)

OPTIONAL:
• powdered sugar for dusting

Makes 9 big squares or 16 small square bars
* Using a 9”x 9” baking pan in the video

Chill. Serve. Enjoy!

:: HELPFUL HINTS ::

Bubbles on top: Avoid vigorously whisking the lemon curd filling.

Cut the perfect squares: Cool completely at room temperature and chill for about 2 hours before serving. When cutting, wipe the knife clean before every cut.

Upside down bars: This happens when the baked crust will pull away a bit from the edges, leaving room for the curd to seep underneath it. Pouring the curd over hot crust ensures it to start cooking immediately and create a seal on top.

Using Spoon-and-Level method for measuring flour: Fluff the flour in the container before scooping it out. Lightly spoon the flour directly into the measuring cup until it mounds well above the top of the measuring cup. Using the back of the dinner knife (non-serrated side is facing the flour), sweep the knife over the top of the cup to remove the excess flour.

Happy Baking!

Thanks for watching!
