Arnold Palmer Bars - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Crust
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Top layer
1/2 cup unsweetened tea
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 tablespoons powdered sugar, for dusting

Preparation

For the crust:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the butter and sugar in a bowl. Cream together until smooth. Add the flour and salt then stir together until a dough forms.
Press the dough into a 9 x 9-inch square baking pan so you get an even layer covering the whole base.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until just starting to turn brown around the edges.
For the top layer:
Heat the unsweetened tea in a small pot over a medium heat. Let simmer until reduced down to 1/4 cup.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, eggs, lemon juice and zest, stirring until smooth. Mix in the tea.
Pour this over the baked crust.
Reduce the oven to 300 degrees F and bake for another 20-25 minutes until the top is set.
Let cool then cut into 16 squares and dust with powdered sugar.
