Honey-Sweetened Lemon Bars
We suggest this honey for this recipe:
INGREDIENTS
For the Crust:
3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour (cassava flour recommended for a gluten-free option)
1/4 cup Tapioca Flour
1/4 cup Collett's Humboldt Honey
1/4 cup Melted Lard or Butter (for a rich flavor)
1 teaspoon Sea Salt
1 teaspoon Nutmeg
For the Lemon Filling:
4 Fresh Eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup Collett's Humboldt Honey
1/2 cup Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
3 tablespoons Tapioca Flour
DIRECTIONS:
Prepare the crust:
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, tapioca flour, Collett's Humboldt Honey, melted lard (or butter), sea salt, and nutmeg. Stir until all ingredients are well mixed. The mixture will be somewhat sticky.
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Spread the crust mixture evenly across the bottom of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes, or until it turns a golden brown color. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
Make the Lemon Filling:
In a clean bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk. Gradually add Collett's Humboldt Honey to the eggs, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Incorporate the freshly squeezed lemon juice into the egg and honey mixture, beating well.
Add the tapioca flour to the mixture, whisking until it's fully integrated and the mixture is smooth.
Assemble and Bake:
Once the crust has cooled, pour the lemon filling over the top, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 22-25 minutes, or until the filling is firm to the touch and no longer jiggles in the center.
Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool to room temperature. Then, chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, though overnight is preferable for the best texture and flavor integration.
Serving Suggestion: Cut into squares and serve chilled. These honey-sweetened lemon bars make a refreshing treat, perfect for any occasion.
