Here&#8217;s what we&#8217;ll use to make the shortbread crust:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Flour:<\/strong> When it comes to measuring your flour, make sure to spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off with the back of a knife. Too much flour can lead to a super dry and crumbly crust.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Granulated Sugar:<\/strong> There&#8217;s only 1\/2 cup of sugar in the crust since the lemon filling uses some too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cornstarch:<\/strong> The cornstarch is the secret ingredient that keeps the crust soft! If you don&#8217;t have any on hand, just replace it with an equal amount of flour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:<\/strong> Since we&#8217;re using unsalted butter, you&#8217;ll want to add a little salt. If you&#8217;re using salted butter, just omit the salt completely.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unsalted Butter:<\/strong> You&#8217;ll want to set your butter out early so it can come to room temperature. Once you whisk together all of the dry ingredients above, you&#8217;ll cube the butter and cut it in with a pastry cutter or a fork until the mixture is nice and crumbly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And for the filling, we&#8217;ll use:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Granulated Sugar:<\/strong> I find that 1 and 1\/2 cups is the perfect amount to make these bars sweet, but still maintain the tanginess. If you love super tangy bars, feel free to reduce the sugar slightly.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flour:<\/strong> This will help to thicken the filling so you can easily slice these into bars!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon Juice:<\/strong> You&#8217;ll need 1\/2 cup of fresh lemon juice, which is equal to about 4 medium lemons or 2-3 larger lemons.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> It&#8217;s best to use room temperature eggs, so they&#8217;ll whisk together better. If you forget to set them out ahead of time, just place them in a bowl of warm water for about 10 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"500\" data-carousel-extra='null' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 500px;

The top of the crust should be set and the edges should be lightly browned like the picture above. Once the crust is done, set it aside for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the lemon filling.<\/p>\n<p>For the lemon filling that goes on top of the crust, you&#8217;ll whisk together some sugar, flour, lemon juice, and eggs. <strong>Here&#8217;s my number one tip for the filling:<\/strong> Make sure to use a sturdy whisk and mix it together really well. This will help prevent pieces of scrambled eggs from ending up in your lemon bars. Yikes!<\/p>\n<p>Then, just pour the lemon filling onto the warm crust and return it to the oven to bake for about 20 minutes.&nbsp;The bars will need to cool for 1-2 hours, then be refrigerated for at least 2 more hours. You can easily prep these the night before and then let them chill overnight. Just be sure to dust them with a little powdered sugar right before serving.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5555 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Classic-Lemon-Bars.jpg?resize=745%2C1117&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sliced lemon bars on a piece of brown parchment paper.\" width=\"745\" height=\"1117\" data-pin-description=\"These Classic Lemon Bars feature an easy homemade shortbread crust with a sweet and tangy lemon filling.
