Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blackberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
  2. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup flour, cold butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake the crust for 15 minutes.
  4. While the crust bakes, prepare the filling: Whisk together eggs, 3/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a bowl until smooth.
  5. Remove the crust from the oven. Sprinkle the blackberries evenly over the hot crust.
  6. Pour the lemon filling mixture over the blackberries.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is mostly firm.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This step is important for clean cutting.
  9. Once cool, lift the bars out using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares.

Notes

  • Freezing fresh blackberries works well if they are not in season.
  • For an extra bright flavor, use fresh lemon juice.
  • You can dust the cooled bars lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
