Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line the bottom of a 9x13 glass baking dish with parchment paper and set aside
- In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Add the flour, stirring until fully combined. Take the dough, pressing it firmly and evenly into your prepared baking dish. Bake for about 20-22 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Remove pan from the oven. With a fork, poke holes all over the crust without going all the way through.
- Make your filling by sifting the sugar and flour together in a large bowl. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add in fresh lemon juice and zest until well combined.
- Pour lemon filling over warm crust. Bake in the oven for 22-28 minutes or until the center is set (not jiggling and soupy). Cool bars completely at room temperature for about 2 hours and then refrigerate for another 2 hours. Then, devour 🤤

Very tempting I must try it
Not very healthy ingredients. Perhaps some substitutes could have been suggested for those who care about such things.
you get to choose what you put in. Don’t come down on someone who doesn’t cook/bake the same way you do.
Enjoy everyone!
