Ingredients
  

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)

3 large eggs

1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and fresh lemon juice until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and the sugar should begin to dissolve.

      Add the Eggs: Crack the eggs into the bowl and whisk until fully integrated with the lemon and sugar mixture. You want a light and frothy texture.

        Incorporate the Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour while mixing. Stir until just combined—don't overmix!

          Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the edges are set and the top is lightly golden. A toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the center.

            Cool and Slice: Allow the lemon bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, cut into squares or rectangles.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve your zesty lemon bars as is or dust them with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness. Enjoy your fresh and tangy treat!
