Lemon Bars
My Nan made these Lemon Bars all the time when I was young. They are so refreshing and light. You can also use the same recipe for Orange Bars or Lime Bars, just change the fruit accordingly!
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Line a lamington tin with baking paper.
-
Beat the butter and icing sugar together with electric beaters until nice and smooth.
-
Stir in 1 cup of the Plain Flour.
-
Press the base mixture into the prepared pan and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until golden.
-
In a small bowl combine the eggs, caster sugar, remaining plain flour, juice and rind and whisk until well combined.
-
Pour the mixture over the hot cooked base and bake for a further 20 minutes or until the mixture is firm and set.
-
Cool in the pan.
-
Dust with extra icing sugar and cut into bars or squares as desired.
Recipe Hints and Tips:
- Lemon Bars are not suitable for freezing. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
- If you would like a thicker slice use a lined standard size square cake tin instead of lamington tin.
