Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 large eggs
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, or as needed
• 0.75 cup white sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine flour, melted butter, and powdered sugar in a bowl and stir to combine. Pat the dough into the bottom of an 8x8-inch square baking pan using your fingers. Prick the crust all over with a fork to keep it from rising in the oven.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until crust just starts to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Step 4

Combine eggs, white sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and lemon extract in a mixing bowl. Beat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Whisk flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl, then add to the lemon mixture. Continue to beat until the lemon filling is smooth, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Pour the lemon filling on top of the pre-baked pastry crust.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set, 23 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes.

Step 7

Cut into 6 bars, then dust with powdered sugar. Top each bar with fresh raspberries.
