Our Aunt Jenny’s lemon bars recipe only calls for 6 ingredients: butter, salt, powdered sugar, flour, eggs, and lemon juice. For thicker lemon bars, you’ll want to use a a 9×9 pan. You can certainly also use a 13×9 pan which will yield more bars that are a bit thinner. If you use a 9×9 pan you may have to add a few extra minutes to ensure the lemon filing bakes fully.

To achieve the desired texture, we suggest sifting the powdered sugar coating through a fine mesh strainer onto the baked lemon bars. These bars also chill well overnight in the fridge and can be served cold. In fact, many people prefer their lemon bars chilled as opposed to fresh from the oven.
