My mom used to make this strawberry lemon bar recipe for me as a kid. I make this recipe year round and it has become a family tradition.
Ingredients
Crust
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Filling
- 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
- 1 1/3 cups white sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 4 large eggs
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Combine flour, powdered sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and salt for crust in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to combine. Add butter and oil and pulse until incorporated and crumbly. Press into an 8-inch square baking dish.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Step 4
While crust is baking, place berries into the food processor and process until smooth. Strain mixture to remove seeds, then transfer berry puree to a bowl with white sugar, flour, lemon juice, eggs, and salt. Whisk to combine.
Step 5
Remove crust from the oven and immediately pour filling mixture over top. Return to the oven and bake until filling is just set, about 20 minutes.
Step 6
Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes. Place in the refrigerator until chilled, about 2 hours. Dust with powdered sugar and cut into 16 bars.
Cook’s Notes:
You can use raspberries instead of strawberries, and either fresh or frozen thawed berries work.
