These Zesty Lemon Delight Bars are a refreshing twist on the classic lemon bar, offering a perfect balance of tangy and sweet flavors.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar. Add the butter and mix until crumbly.
Use cold butter for a flakier crust.
Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a buttered 9x13 inch baking pan, ensuring an even layer.
Use a flat-bottomed glass to press the crust evenly.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Keep an eye on the crust to prevent over-browning.
While the crust bakes, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and flour in a mixing bowl until smooth.
Ensure the mixture is lump-free for a smooth topping.
Stir in the lemon juice, zest, baking powder, and salt into the topping mixture.
Freshly squeezed lemon juice enhances the flavor.
Pour the topping mixture over the baked crust.
Pour evenly to ensure consistent baking.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is set.
The topping should jiggle slightly when done.
Sprinkle powdered sugar over the bars while hot. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
Cooling ensures clean cuts and better presentation.
