Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Rhubarb Bars
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter and sugar. Cream together until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add flour and salt to the creamed mixture. Mix until crumbly, then press into the baking dish. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Gently fold in the rhubarb until combined.
- Pour the filling over the baked crust evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until edges are golden and filling is set.
- Cool completely on a wire rack, then dust with icing sugar before slicing.
