Getting Your Bake On: Step by Step

Now that we're all set with our ingredients, let's get baking. Trust me; this recipe is as easy as pie (or should I say, lemon bars).

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

  1. First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan and set it aside.


Step 2: Making the Crust

  1. In a bowl, mix together the flour, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press this mixture into the bottom of your prepared baking pan.
  3. Bake the crust for about 20 minutes or until it's lightly golden.


Step 3: Mixing Up the Lemon Filling

  1. While your crust is baking, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, and another pinch of salt.
  2. Beat in the eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and the golden touch of Nutra Nourished Turmeric until everything is well combined.


Step 4: The Magic Happens

  1. Pour this luscious lemon and turmeric mixture over your baked crust.
  2. Pop it back into the oven for another 20-25 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden, and the center is set.


Step 5: Let It Cool (If You Can Wait)

  1. Once you've taken these lemony wonders out of the oven, let them cool in the pan on a wire rack for a bit. That irresistible aroma of freshly baked lemon bars infused with Nutra Nourished Turmeric will fill your kitchen - get ready for the compliments!


Step 6: The Sweet Finish

  1. Once your turmeric-infused lemon bars are cooled, dust the top with a little powdered sugar. It's like adding a sprinkle of extra love
