lemon bars and life updates
Despite the good things that had (and are happening) in my life, it felt as if I had been handed a giant pile of lemons with instructions to figure it out on my own. I chose to wallow. What I’ve learned about myself over the years is that I am an expert wallow-er, and if left to my own devices, could probably turn it into a full-time gig. I needed something productive, something with no expectations, to counter my negativity. So, what to do when you have lemons? Turn it into something sweet.
Lemon Bars
Recipe adapted from Ina Garten
Ingredients -
Crust -
1 cup salted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups bleached all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Filling -
1 cup bleached all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cup sugar
6 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup fresh lemon juice (may substitute bottled)
Grated lemon zest from however many lemons needed
confectioners’ sugar
Directions -
1 – Line a 13×9″ baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on both long sides. Cream the butter and sugar together, just until combined. Add the flour and salt, beating just until combined into butter mixture. Dot mixture evenly along bottom of baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and press into an even layer. Chill in fridge as you preheat the oven to 350°F.
2 – Bake chilled crust until lightly browned, 15-20 minutes. As it bakes, prepare the filling.
3 – Whisk flour, salt, and sugar together in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk in eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest until mixture is smooth and a little frothy. Pour over warm crust. Bake for an additional 25-35 minutes, or until filling is just set. The toothpick test may not come out clean, but the filling shouldn’t be runny. Place baking dish on a wire rack to cool completely. Filling will further set the longer you wait.
4 – To form neat slices, run a knife under hot water and dry it. Repeat after every slice. Dust with as much confectioners’ sugar as you can handle.
