This makes a generous 9×13 pan of bars and the recipe also works well with limes.
Ingredients
- Dough
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup butter
- 1 pound cake flour
- -----
- Topping
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 lemon, zested
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 1/2 tablespoons additional cake flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees. For dough, cream butter and sugar until smooth, gradually add flour (do not overmix). Spread on sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Roll out on the tray up the sides and bake until lightly brown, about 15-20 minutes. Let cool. For topping, beat eggs, sugar, zest and juice by hand until thoroughly mixed. Add sifted flour and baking powder. Pour over the dough and bake until golden and knife inserted comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
Chef’s Note: This is also great to make with limes.
