Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mix the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs until they are well beaten. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the eggs.

      Combine Ingredients: Pour the egg and lemon mixture into the flour and sugar blend. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

        Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the edges are set and the top is lightly golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.

          Cool and Serve: Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Once cooled, you can cut them into squares. For an extra touch, dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving.

            Enjoy: Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy these zesty lemon bars with friends and family!
