I mentioned on my stories that I made these sticky lemon bars in the weekend. Sooo many of you said that you also enjoy making these and we're even kind enough to share your pictures of them with me! 🙏💖
In case you missed the story and would like some inspiration, I have included the recipe here below too. I go into much more detail in the recipe notes on my website, so if you would like to know more about how to make them perfect, head to the link in my bio.
Most of the recipes on my website are my own and as much as I would love to claim the recipe, I cannot. It comes from the very first food blog I ever started reading, which was way back in 2007 sometime. Her name is Angie Dudley but you might know her better as . She’s basically the mother of all cake-pops and she is to thank for this recipe. So now I gladly share it with you!
BASE INGREDIENTS
225g (1 cup) butter
220g (1 3/4 cup) plain flour
80g (2/3 cup) icing sugar (plus more for dusting)
TOPPING INGREDIENTS
300g (1 1/2 cup) white sugar
30g (1/4 cup) flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup lemon juice
METHOD
1. Preheat oven to 175 C (350 F) and grease and flour a 20cm x 30cm (9 x 13) pan.
To make base
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and icing sugar. Cut the butter into small cubes and using your finger tips, rub into the flour until combined and crumbly (alternatively you could use a food processor)
3. Press mixture into bottom of pan and smooth with hands. Bake for 20 minutes or until just golden brown.
To make topping
4. While the base is baking, prepare topping – In a larger bowl, sift sugar, flour, and baking powder together and whisk to combine.
5. Add slightly beaten eggs and lemon juice and mix well. Pour on top of warm baked base and bake for 20-25 minutes.
6. When cool, dust with icing sugar and cut into desired sized bars (either 12 large bars or 24 smaller bars).
Prepare to be amazed and prepare to be hooked. These sticky lemon bars are like no other.
