POPPY SEED-LEMON BARS

The bright flavor of lemon combined with poppy seeds really kicks the traditional lemon bar up a notch. They're vibrant, fresh tasting, and pleasantly sweet. I like to use black poppy seeds for a pop of color and just a little more eye appeal.

Time 1h5m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

cooking spray
½ cup butter, softened
¼ cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 ½ cups white sugar
3 large eggs
⅓ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Combine butter and confectioners' sugar in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add flour, salt, and cardamom; mix until just combined. Stir in poppy seeds until evenly distributed. Press dough evenly into the prepared baking dish with floured hands.
  • Bake crust in the preheated oven until edges are just starting to brown, about 18 minutes.
  • While the crust is baking, combine sugar, eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add flour and stir until just combined.
  • As soon as the crust comes out of the oven, pour the filling into it and return to the oven.
  • Bake until filling is puffy and lightly browned around the edges, about 30 minutes. Place on a wire rack and cool completely before cutting into 16 squares. Dust lightly with confectioners sugar.
