How to make Viva's Best Lemon Bars

• 01
  Preheat your oven to 350 degrees °F (175 degrees °C) and place an oven rack into the middle position.
• 02
  Lightly oil an 8x8-inch Baking Dish & mix together 1 Cup flour, butter, ¼ Cup confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt in a Bowl (until you have a slightly crumbly cookie dough).
• 03
  Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared dish and prick holes all over the crust. Bake it on the center rack for 22 minutes, (until the edges are barely golden brown).
• 04
  Prepare the lemon custard: Whisk together eggs and egg yolks in a Bowl, then mix in white sugar and 2 Tablespoons flour until smooth.
• 05
  Add the lemon juice and zest, Whisking for 2 minutes, and pour the custard over the crust. Bake for another 25 minutes, until the custard is set and the top has a thin, white sugary crust. Allow it to cool completely before cutting into bars.
