Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

For the Lemon Filling

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest

For the Blueberry Topping

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour and sugar for the crust. Cut in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  • While the crust is baking, prepare the lemon filling. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well combined.
  • Whisk in the flour until smooth. Stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest.
  • Pour the lemon filling evenly over the warm crust.
  • Scatter the fresh blueberries evenly over the lemon filling.
  • Bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden. The center should be firm but slightly jiggly.
  • Let the bars cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares. This may take a few hours.
  • For best results, chill the bars in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

These bars are best served chilled. They can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
