Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper. TIP: Lightly grease the pan to prevent the parchment paper from sliding.
2
In a bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add the vegan butter and work it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Press the crumbly mixture into the prepared baking pan and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. TIP: Use a flat-bottomed measuring cup or spoon to smooth the crust.
4
Meanwhile, in another bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, cane sugar, plant-based milk, and baking powder. TIP: Use freshly grated lemon zest for a more intense flavor.
5
Pour the lemon mixture over the pre-baked crust and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set.
6
Let the bars cool in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up completely. TIP: Refrigeration helps with clean slicing.
7
Cut into bars and dust with powdered sugar before serving. TIP: Use a sieve for even distribution of the powdered sugar.
