THE BEST LEMON BARS



The Best Lemon Bars image

It's tough to top a classic lemon bar, but we've done it! We kept the tender, buttery crust and bright filling of the original, and made a few improvements. For our luscious lemon layer, we employed a unique double-cooking method. Simmering first on the stovetop like lemon curd allows us to add butter, which balances the tart and sweet elements and adds a richer, smoother texture.

Time 3h

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 sticks (1 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
4 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1 3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup fresh lemon juice (from 6 to 8 lemons)
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on 2 sides; spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • For the crust: Add the flour, cornstarch, confectioners' sugar and salt to the bowl of a food processor and pulse 10 times until combined. Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse sand, about 30 times. (The dough will not come together in one mass.) Sprinkle the mixture evenly in the prepared pan and lightly pat it down. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until golden brown around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • For the filling: Combine the eggs, yolks, sugar, flour, salt and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Whisk continuously over medium heat, occasionally scraping down the sides and edges of the pan with a rubber spatula, until simmering and thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the lemon zest and butter until combined.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 300 degrees F. Pour the filling over the crust and bake until just set, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Place on a wire rack to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours.
  • Use the foil overhang to lift the bars from the pan. Remove the foil and slice into squares. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper (with enough paper so you can use it to lift the bars from the pan after they are baked) and spray it with cooking spray.
  • Place the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until is worked into the ingredients and the flour looks powdery. You should be able to pinch some of the dough together and it should hold its shape. Transfer the flour and butter mixture to the baking pan and press it into an even layer in the bottom of the pan and approximately one inch up the sides. Using the tines of a fork, poke the dough all over to make little holes. Bake the crust for 20 minutes, or until it's lightly browned.
  • Cut the lemon into thin slices. Remove the seeds from the lemon and discard them. Place the lemon slices in the food processor, add the sugar, and puree the lemon. This will take a couple of minutes and you may need to stop the food processor a few times to scrape down the bowl. Process the lemon and sugar until you have a smooth puree. Add the butter, eggs, cornstarch, and salt and pulse the mixture a few times until combined.
