You can either dust the tops of these Lemon Bars with Confectioners Sugar or you can get a little adventurous and lightly sprinkle some coconut shavings on top (for some added sweetness).
All you need to do after you mix these ingredients together is to pour it in the crust. As a matter of fact; we think that you are going to be making this recipe a second or third time after you read how it's made. This might change your cooking ways forever.
Whatever You Top Them With They Will Taste Delicious!
Here Are The Rest Of The Ingredients To Gather & How To Put Everything Together:
The Other Three Ingredients To Gather:
(For The Crust)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
The Full Step By Step Directions To Follow:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan.
- Make crust: Using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar, and salt until light and fluffy. Add flour, and mix on low just until combined.
- Press dough into the bottom and 1/2 inch up sides of prepared pan; prick all over with a fork.
- Bake until lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Make filling: In a large bowl, whisk together yolks, condensed milk, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Pour over hot crust in pan; return to oven, and bake until filling is set, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Refrigerate until filling is firm.
~*~ Baking Tip ~*~
Cut them into squares when they are firmed up. You can cut large squares or smaller ones.
Finished!
This recipe makes 16 servings, so there should be enough to go around, but we still recommend stashing one or two extras for yourself! We like this recipe because it makes a great dessert, but if you feel like being fancy you could also have it as a snack with a cup of hot tea.
Happy Baking & Enjoy!

This website is so hard to navigate and is full of ads.
I am tired of trying to find these recipes – I don’t want these posts anymore!!!!!
Looks yummy
Somebody please send me recipe for this. as I do not have
Very annoying site- multiple steps, each one ad filled just to obtain the full recipe. Looks like key lime pie with lemons, and not 3 ingredients. Use a pre made cookie or graham cracker pie crust and you can claim 4 ingredients.
Looks good
Yummy!
what a load! 3 ingriedients for filling, then next page is 3 more for crust.
misleading or lies?? smh
Also, salt is mentioned in the steps for the crust, but not listed as an ingredient. So how much to use? 1/2 tsp or maybe 1 tsp? I will look at the link on the comment below.
1/4 tsp on link below.
THANK YOU!
Three ingredients my foot. Why bother.
Too difficult to assess. I won’t bother with this site ever again. Not worth it.
Well, aren’t you going to share it Diane?
I agree it is frustrating when you can’t get to the recipe. Thanks for the tip on this one 🙂
Thanks….that was much easier

The recipe says to beat butter, pwd. sugar, salt and flour. Doesn’t show that you need salt in the recipe though.
They lie. More thee ingredients.
I’ve made this a few times and the recipe is from the 1940’s.They are called Dollies or Crumbly Lemon Oatmeal squares.
Martha never made anything with three ingredients!!!
