Steps:
Making the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar.
- Cut in the softened butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create an even crust.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until it's just lightly golden.
Making the Filling:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the Manuka honey, eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet honey mixture, whisking until smooth.
Assembling and Baking:
- Pour the filling mixture over the baked crust in the baking dish.
- Bake the bars in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden around the edges.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, dust the top of the bars with powdered sugar.
- Carefully remove the bars from the baking dish and place them on a cutting board. Cut them into squares or bars.
- Serve your Manuka Honey Lemon Bars and enjoy!
Note: Manuka honey has a unique flavor profile and potential health benefits. Its strong flavor can dominate the bars, so use it according to your taste preference. If you prefer a milder honey flavor, you can use a milder honey variety.
These Manuka Honey Lemon Bars offer a delightful blend of sweet and tangy flavors, making them a perfect treat for any occasion.
