Instructions to make Lemon Bars:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- For the crust, put flour, sugar, and salt in food processor bowl and give it 6 or 7 quick pulses to aerate and evenly distribute all ingredients. - - Then add cold butter cubes straight out of the fridge, distributing them evenly over the dry mixture. Pulse food processor a few times to get everything started, then turn processor on and let the whole mixture go just until almost all of it is formed into a ball. (I say almost all because you invariably have crumbs that don't attach.)
- Dump the dough onto a floured surface and gather into a ball. Flatten the dough with floured hands and press it into a 12-inch tart pan, building up a 1/2-inch edge on all sides. Chill in freezer for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Prick the crust in several spots with a fork, then bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until very lightly browned. Let cool on a wire rack. Leave the oven on.
- For the filling, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and flour until all sugar and salt are completely dissolved. - - Pour into the crust, until it reaches just under the top of the edge (you may have a little left over) and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the filling is set. - - (I actually tend to like a roughly 60% to 40% filling to crust ratio, so I don't always use all the filling anyway.)
- Let cool to room temperature. Cut into triangles or squares and dust with confectioners’ sugar. - - Enjoy!
