Baking these Lemon Bars is a delightful process. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
3. Make the Crust:
– In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
– Gradually mix in 2 cups of flour and salt until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
– Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
4. Bake the Crust: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden.
5. Prepare the Filling:
– In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until smooth.
– Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and ¼ cup flour, mixing until well blended.
6. Combine the Filling with Crust: Pour the lemon filling over the baked crust once it’s out of the oven.
7. Bake the Bars: Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and no longer jiggly.
8. Cool Down: Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for at least 1-2 hours. For best results, chill in the refrigerator.
9. Slice and Serve: Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar and cut into squares or bars.
10. Enjoy: Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy the amazing burst of lemon in every bite.
