INGREDIENTS

  • Crust

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • ¼ cup powdered sugar
    • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
    • 🍋 2 teaspoons lemon zest
    • 🧂 ⅛ teaspoon salt
    • 🧈 ¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks
    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • Filling

    • 🍓 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
    • 1 ⅓ cups white sugar
    • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
    • 🍋 ¼ cup lemon juice
    • 🥚 4 large eggs
    • 🧂 ⅛ teaspoon salt
    • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2

Combine flour, powdered sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and salt for crust in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to combine. Add butter and oil and pulse until incorporated and crumbly. Press into an 8-inch square baking dish.

3

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

4

While crust is baking, place berries into the food processor and process until smooth. Strain mixture to remove seeds, then transfer berry puree to a bowl with white sugar, flour, lemon juice, eggs, and salt. Whisk to combine.

5

Remove crust from the oven and immediately pour filling mixture over top. Return to the oven and bake until filling is just set, about 20 minutes.

6

Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes. Place in the refrigerator until chilled, about 2 hours. Dust with powdered sugar and cut into 16 bars.
