Instructions
- Preheat the Oven : Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
- Prepare the Baking Dish : Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

- Bake : Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve : Allow the lemon bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. For an extra touch, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Variations: For added flavor, consider mixing in a teaspoon of lemon zest into the batter.
- Storage: Store any leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or refrigerate for up to five days.
- Optional Toppings: Enhance your lemon bars with a drizzle of lemon glaze or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
