Lemon Bars

Step by step

1. 1

   Butter the pan and line it with parchment paper, buttering again over the paper. Keep it in the freezer.

   
2. 2

   In a bowl, add the flour and the powdered sugar, preferably through a sifter. Then add the salt and the melted butter. Mix.

   
3. 3

   Pour this crumbly dough into the pan and press it down with your hands until it covers the entire bottom — it should be nice and compact.

   
4. 4

   Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes. Set aside.

   
5. 5

   In a food processor, add the sugar and the zest of one lemon. Process and transfer to a bowl.

   
6. 6

   Add the lemon juice, the eggs and the flour, and mix well.

   
7. 7

   Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25 minutes.

   
8. 8

   Let it cool, then unmold and cut into bars of the size you like.
