Ingredients 

Crust

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter cold and cubed

Filling

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 units large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest from 1 lemon
  • ½ cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • ½ cup raspberries fresh or frozen

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour and ¼ cup of sugar. Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into the prepared baking pan.
  3. Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of sugar and 2 tablespoons of flour. Add the eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice, and whisk until combined. Gently fold in the raspberries.
  5. Pour the filling over the baked crust. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly browned.
  6. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
