These lemon bars are the perfect dessert on a hot summer day! I love the refreshing lemon flavor!
These bars are refined sugar free and I used spelt flour.
We like it so much that I’ve made these a few times already this summer, including one time using limes.
Lemon Bars
Shortbread crust:
- 2 cups spelt flour
- Pinch of salt
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 1 tbsp water
– Mix all the ingredients together and press into a 31-22 cm, (9×13 inch) baking pan. Pre-Bake crust in preheated, 350 F, oven for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
Lemon Filling:
- 6 eggs
- 3/4 cup creamed honey
- 3 tbsp spelt flour
- Juice of 3 lemons
- Zest of 1 lemon
– Whisk all the ingredients together. Pour lemon filling on the still warm prebaked crust. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the filling is set. Let cool completely, then refrigerate.
-Cut into squares, then dust with icing sugar if desired! Tastes wonderful when cold.
I hope you give it a try! This was actually first time I’ve ate and made lemon bars, and I’m loving it!
