How To Make lemon strawberry bars
-
1Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
2Crust: Cream butter and sugar in a bowl, add in flour and salt. Mix well.
-
3Dump the dough onto a well-floured surface and gather into a ball. Flatten dough and press into a 9 x 13 baking dish, building up a 1/2-inch edge on all sides. Chill for 5-10 minutes.
-
4Bake crust for 15-20 minutes, until lightly browned. Let cool on wire rack.
-
5Strawberry Filling: Add cornstarch and lemon juice to a small bowl until just combined. In a large saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch mix.
-
6Heat and stir until mixture boils and thickens, remove from heat and let cool, then spread evenly on cooled crust.
-
7Lemon Layer: Whisk eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and flour. Pour over the strawberry mix and bake for 30-35 minutes, until filling is set. Let cool to room temperature.
-
8Cut into squares and dust with powdered sugar.
