Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • 9x9-inch baking pan
  • Whisk
  • Zester (optional)

Ingredients
  

Crumb Mixture

  • 2 1/2 cups Organic All Purpose Flour Feature ingredient
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 1 large egg

Lemon Filling

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup Organic All Purpose Flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice about 2 lemons
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter and use fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until coarse crumbs form. Add the egg and mix until crumbly but starting to come together.
  • Press about two-thirds of the crumb mixture into the prepared pan to form an even base layer.
  • In another bowl, whisk together sugar and flour. Add eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
  • Pour lemon filling over the base. Crumble the remaining crumb mixture evenly on top.
  • Bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the filling is set. Let cool completely in the pan.
  • Once cooled, lift out using parchment, cut into bars, and enjoy!
