Lemon Bars in 55 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
2. Stir together melted butter, 30g flour, 30g powdered sugar, and salt until a soft dough forms.
3. Press the dough firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan.
4. Bake for 20 minutes or until the edges are just beginning to turn a pale mahogany-gold.
5. While the crust is baking, whisk the 200g powdered sugar and 16g flour together to remove lumps.
6. Add eggs one at a time, beating until smooth.
7. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and zest until the mixture is a uniform, bright yellow.
8. Pour the filling over the hot crust immediately after removing it from the oven.
9. Bake for an additional 20 minutes; the center should have a slight wobble but the edges should be set.
10. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
11. Transfer to the fridge for at least 2 hours to set.
12. Lift the bars out using the parchment handles, dust generously with powdered sugar, and slice into 16 equal squares using a hot, dry knife.
