Ingredients
Crust:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup butter softened
- ½ cup white sugar
Filling:
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 eggs
- 2 lemons juiced
Instructions
- Gather the ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- To make the crust: Blend 2 cups flour, softened butter, and 1/2 cup sugar in a medium bowl until well combined.
- Press crust into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13-inch pan.
- Bake crust in the preheated oven until firm and golden, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the filling: Whisk remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/4 cup flour in a medium bowl. Whisk in eggs, then lemon juice until smooth.
- Pour filling over the baked crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Set the pan aside to cool completely; the bars will firm up as they cool.
- When cooled, cut bars into uniform squares.
