To make these bars, you really don’t need a lot of ingredients. Most of what you have will already be in your pantry — which makes this one of my favorite kind of desserts to make.
Sugar
Butter, room temperature
All-purpose flour
Salt
Fresh lemon juice
Lemon zest
Strawberry puree
Eggs
Baking powder
How To Make The Crust
Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease or line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper.
To make the crust mixture beat sugar and butter in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour and salt and continue beating until the mixture is crumbly. Then pour into prepared pan and spread in an even layer.
Bake for 17 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. Meanwhile make the filling.
How To Make The Filling
For the filling, in a blender or a bowl add the lemon juice, lemon zest, strawberry puree, eggs and sugar. Blend until smooth. Add flour, baking powder and salt and blend for another 15 sec or until smooth.
Pour over the hot crust when it’s finished baking, return to oven and bake for additional 23-26 minutes or until the top looks dry and is slightly golden. Let it cool
completely then slice and sprinkle with powdered sugar using the sifter. For clean cut use damp knife and clean your knife in between cuts with wet paper towel.
Tips
Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before use.
Dust with powdered sugar using the sifter when completely cooled, if you dust while warm the sugar will melt away.
Use a damp knife to get a clean cut. Clean your knife in between cuts with wet paper towel.
Store leftovers in a refrigerator.
