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!

I loved the flavor of these lemon bars, but I found them to be a bit too sweet. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

The crust was a little dry, but the filling was delicious. I would try a different crust recipe next time.

These lemon bars were a bit too tart for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll add a little less lemon juice.

I've made these lemon bars several times now and they always turn out delicious. I love that I can make them in the microwave, which is especially helpful when I'm short on time.

These lemon bars were a hit with my family! The crust was perfectly golden and crumbly, and the lemon filling was tart and refreshing. I especially loved how easy they were to make in the microwave - it saved me so much time and energy.
