Lemon Bars
Crust:
1 cup flour
3 Tbsp. powdered sugar
6 Tbsp. butter, melted
zest of 1 lemon
Filling:
1 cup sugar
zest of 2 lemons
3 eggs, at room temperature
juice from zested lemons (about 1/3 cup)
1 Tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
powdered sugar
1. Spray a 9" square or round microwave-safe pan with cooking spray.
2. In a small bowl, mix the crust ingredients with a fork. When well-blended, press
the crust into the bottom of your pan (use your fingers or a spatula).
3. Microwave crust at 80% power for 31/2 minutes. The crust should be firm, but if it
is not, add another 30 seconds at 80% power. Set crust aside.
4. Using a mixer, beat together the first 4 ingredients for the filling on low–
medium speed.
5. Add the flour, baking powder and salt, and beat on medium speed for 2–3
minutes until smooth.
6. Pour the filling over the crust and cook in the microwave oven at 80% power for
4–5 minutes. The center should be set, not runny.
7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Dust with powdered sugar before
serving.
