Scrumdiddlyumptious Lemon Bars

This is my first food post! Woo!

I made this delicious and easy to bake Lemon Bars earlier today.. I'm a little obsessed with anything lemon, and these are perfect for a summery day too :)

What you'll need
For the base:
200g (7oz) plain flour
75g (3oz) caster sugar
175g (6oz) butter
For the filling:
3 eggs
300g (11oz) caster sugar
3 tablespoons plain flour
4 tablespoons lemon juice
Zest of one lemon


Preheat oven to 180°C
Grease your baking tin
Mix together the butter and sugar

Add the flour to the creamed mixture. Forming a dough.

With floured hands, place dough in the baking tray.

Pat down the dough to fill the base of the tray.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

In the meantime...
Whisk together eggs, sugar, flour, lemon juice and zest. (I admit there's triple the amount of zest and juice in there.. I'm a lemon addict)

When the base is cooked, pour this mixture over the top and put back into the oven for another 20-25 minutes.
Allow to cool completely before sprinkling icing sugar over the top and cutting into squares.

Voilà.. scrumdiddlyumptious lemon bars :)

Enjoy my lovelies, and have a fabulous weekend :)
