Gluten-Free Lemon Bars
You will need:
1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of gluten-free flour and powdered sugar. Cut in the softened butter and mix in the vanilla extract until the dough comes together.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly golden.
- While the crust is baking, prepare the lemon filling. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Stir in the 2 tablespoons of gluten-free flour, baking powder, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined.
- Pour the lemon filling over the hot crust. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly browned.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, dust with additional powdered sugar, cut into squares, and serve.
