Categories     Dessert     Lemon     Bake     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Chill

Yield Makes 12 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

Unsalted butter (for pan)
Gluten-Free Multi-Purpose Sweet Pastry Dough (you'll need one disc; freeze remaining disc for another use)
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest (from about 1 1/2 lemons)
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 4 lemons)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Special Equipment
An 8x8x2" baking pan

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 350°F. Butter baking pan, then line with 2 layers of parchment, leaving a 2" overhang on all sides. Butter parchment.
  • Press dough into bottom and about 3/4" up sides of prepared pan. Poke all over with a fork and chill at least 30 minutes.
  • Bake crust until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
  • Meanwhile, whisk eggs, granulated sugar, flour, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt in a medium bowl. Pour filling into crust and bake bar until set and slightly golden brown at the edges, about 25 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool completely, then chill at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
  • Loosen edges with an offset spatula or butter knife, then use parchment overhang to remove bar from pan. Transfer bar on parchment to a cutting board and cut into 4 pieces lengthwise and 3 pieces crosswise to make 12 rectangular bars. Dust bars with powdered sugar.
  • Do Ahead
  • Bars can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled in baking pan.

Tips:

  • For a classic lemon bar, use freshly squeezed lemon juice. It provides a brighter, more intense flavor than bottled lemon juice.
  • To prevent the crust from becoming too brown, cover it with foil during the last few minutes of baking.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape.
  • For a cleaner cut, use a sharp knife that has been dipped in hot water. Wipe the knife clean after each cut.
  • Store the lemon bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Gluten-free lemon bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people with and without gluten sensitivities.
