Ingredients
Crust:
Nonstick
cooking spray
1
1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1/2 cup
(1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/3 cup granulated
sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher
salt
Filling:
3 large
eggs
1 large
egg yolk
2/3 cup granulated
sugar
1/3 cup fresh
lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely
grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons all-purpose
flour
2 tablespoons heavy
cream
1/8 teaspoon kosher
salt
Confectioners’
sugar, for dusting
Directions
Heat
oven to 350° F. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with the cooking spray. Line
the pan with 2 crisscrossed pieces of parchment, leaving an overhang on all
sides; spray the parchment with the cooking spray.
Make
the crust: In a food processor, combine the flour, butter, granulated sugar,
and salt; pulse until fine crumbs form. Press the mixture firmly into the
bottom of the prepared pan and bake until pale golden, 25 to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile,
make the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolk,
granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, flour, cream, and salt.
When
the crust is baked, rewhisk the lemon mixture and pour onto the hot crust. Bake
until just set, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate
until cold, about 2 hours.
Holding
both sides of the paper overhang, lift the cake out of the pan, transfer to a
cutting board, and cut into 24 rectangles (6 rows by 4 rows). Store the bars
covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Dust with the confectioners’
sugar before serving.
