Time 10m

Yield 16 1, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup flour
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon lemon rind, grated
3 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
powdered sugar (to garnish)

Steps:

  • To make crust, combine flour and sugar in small bowl. In another small bowl, microwave butter until melted. Work melted butter into flour and sugar mixture until well blended and crumbly. Press mixture into bottom of microwave safe baking dish, 8" round is what I use. Microwave for 4 minutes. Set crust aside.
  • To make filling, combine eggs and sugar, beat until fluffy. Add all remaining ingredients, beat slowly until cornstarch is well dissolved, about 1 full minute. Do not overmix.
  • Pour this mixture over baked crust. Cook on high 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 minutes, just until center begins to set. Remove and let chill in refrigerator. Before cutting, dust with powdered sugar. I cut mine into small 1 1/2" bites, place each bite in a paper or foil baking cup as they are quite rich. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemon juice and zest provide the best flavor for these bars. If you don't have fresh lemons on hand, you can use bottled lemon juice and lemon zest from a jar, but the flavor will not be as bright.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Don't overbake the bars. The bars are done when they are set in the center and the edges are just starting to brown. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bars for up to 2 months. To freeze, wrap the bars tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag.

Conclusion:

These microwave lemon bars are a quick and easy treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. For example, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter for a richer flavor, or you can sprinkle the tops of the bars with powdered sugar before serving. No matter how you choose to make them, these lemon bars are sure to be a hit!
