Method
- In a large bowl, mix the butter, flour, lemon zest, and sugar. Once smooth and fully combined, press into a 7-inch pan that fits in your air fryer.
- Transfer the pan to the air fryer and cook for 7 to 8 minutes at 320 degrees F until golden brown, then remove and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla, and lemon juice whisk until smooth.
- Pour the filling over the baked crust and air fry at 320 degrees F for 12 to 14 minutes, or until set.
- The bars will harden more as they cool. Remove from the air fryer and cool on a wire rack.
- After that, refrigerate for a few hours, then dust with powdered sugar, slice and serve.
Notes
- Tip 1: I always let my ingredients come to room temperature before starting. It helps everything mix more smoothly and bake more evenly.
- Tip 2: I know the bars are ready when the edges turn lightly golden and the center is set but still a little jiggly. It finishes firming up as it cools.
- Tip 3: If I have a glass baking dish that fits in my air fryer, I use it. It bakes evenly and doesn’t affect the flavor like some metal pans can.
- Tip 4: I spray the pan with a bit of oil before adding parchment paper. It keeps the paper from slipping or sticking while I press in the crust.
- Tip 5: I like using the bottom of a heavy glass to press the crust evenly into the pan. It makes the base nice and smooth without much effort.
