This luscious lemon bar recipe is perfect for a warm summer day or a light and refreshing dessert at any other time of the year. Lemon may not be the taste you look for by itself, but when added to other recipes, it’s amazing. Lemonade, lemon cake, and lemon tarts are all great examples of delicious lemon recipes.

One of our favorites is the luscious lemon bar recipe. While my family has never shied away from lemon, these lemon bars disappear around us. While I love seeing my family enjoy a recipe, I also need to make sure I hide a few so I can enjoy them as well.

Ingredients for the Crust

The crust and the filling require different sets of ingredients. It is important that you keep them separated while making this dessert so that you don’t get confused or lost. Flour, bakers’ sugar, and butter will make the crust. Don’t forget the cooking spray so you can be sure nothing sticks.

To Make the Lemon Bar Filling

The filling needs a few more ingredients than the crust. Of course, flour is necessary for both, but for the filling, you will also need granulated sugar, lemon juice, baking powder, some fresh lemons for the peel, and some eggs.
