Scale
- Crust:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup butter, softened (no substitutes, please!)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- Filling:
- 4 eggs, slightly beaten
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons lemon juice (bottled works great)
- Frosting:
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon milk
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grab a 9×13 inch baking pan and give it a little grease and flour love.
- Now let’s make that crust! In a bowl, mix together the flour, softened butter, and powdered sugar. Think of it like making a pie crust – just use a fork and get everything nicely mixed. Pat this mixture into your prepared pan.
- Pop that crust into the oven for a quick 15-minute bake. It should start to look like a golden dream.
- While the crust does its thing, let’s get zesty with the filling. In another bowl, mix up those beaten eggs, sugar, flour, and lemon juice until it’s all smooth and happy.
- Time’s up for the crust! Take it out and pour your lemon filling over it. Back into the oven it goes for another 25 minutes. You’re looking for the filling to set and start to look like a sunny day.
- Once done, let those bars cool down. Patience is key!
- For the frosting, whip up the butter and powdered sugar. Add in the milk and keep beating for about 6 to 8 minutes. You want it nice and fluffy. Then, add the cold water, a tablespoon at a time, until it’s smooth as silk.
- Spread that gorgeous frosting over your cooled bars. Cut them into squares and get ready to see them disappear! Your Luscious Lemon Bliss Bars are ready to steal the show.
