# Lemon Bar Recipe
## Ingredients
### Crust
- 140g (10 Tbsp) unsalted butter
- 175g (1-1/4 cup) all-purpose flour
- 50g (1/4 cup) sugar
- 5g (1-1/2 tsp) kosher salt (sub: 3/4 tsp fine sea salt OR table salt)
- 1 tbsp (15mL) water
### Filling
- 300g (1-1/2 cups) sugar
- 54g (6 Tbsp) all purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1/16 tsp ground turmeric (optional)
- 1/2 tsp citric acid (optional, sub: 1-1/2 tsp cream of tartar)
- 3 large eggs (~50g each w/o shell)
- 3 egg yolks (~20g each)
- ~17g (~2 Tbsp packed) lemon zest (zest the lemons needed for 200mL juice)
- 200mL (200g) lemon juice (about 3-4 lemons)
- 84g (6 Tbsp) unsalted butter
### Garnish
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
## Instructions
### Prep
1. Pre-heat oven to 350°F (175°C) with the rack in the middle position.
2. Line a 9” x 9” baking pan (can be metal, glass, or ceramic) with parchment paper.
### Crust
3. Measure out all crust ingredients and have them ready.
4. Make Browned Butter:
- Melt butter in a medium stainless steel pan over medium heat.
- Butter will foam, bubble, and crackle. Stir occasionally, then constantly as sounds die down.
- Light sediment will appear. Scrape pan to prevent sticking and burning. Reduce heat to low.
- Stir until sediment turns rich brown and butter smells nutty. Turn off heat.
5. Add salt and sugar, stirring to incorporate. Mix in flour until well combined and no dry flour remains. The mixture will be clumpy and sandy.
6. Add water and stir thoroughly for a homogenous dough.
7. Transfer dough to pan. Press into an even layer with hands or bottom of a cup. Prick all over with a fork.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until evenly golden with slightly browned edges.
### Filling
9. Wipe pan used for crust to remove excess debris. Add all filling ingredients except lemon juice and butter. Stir to combine.
10. Add lemon juice and stir until evenly mixed.
11. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring and scraping constantly. When filling begins to thicken, reduce heat to low. Cook until filling reaches 160-165°F (70-75°C), is slightly thickened, and coats spoon. Texture should be halfway between melted ice cream and shampoo.
12. Remove from heat. Add butter, stir to melt and combine.
13. Strain filling onto baked crust. Tilt pan to spread evenly.
14. Bake for 7-15 minutes, until the filling is set with slightly puffed edges. The filling should barely jiggle when the pan is shaken.
### Cool & Serve:
15. Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature for at least 1.5 hours. If ambient temperature is very warm, chill the bars in the fridge, uncovered.
16. Lift cooled bars from pan. Cut with sharp knife, wiping blade between cuts with a damp towel. Trim 1/4" (0.5 cm) from all sides. Cut into desired size (I like 4x4 for 16 pieces).
17. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.

Chinese BBQ Pork Buns + Halal, Vegetarian & Kosher Filling Options (Char Siu Bao)

Here are my famous Chinese BBQ Pork Buns. Growing up, these were my favourite thing to get from the Asian bakery. Everything here is from scratch, including the BBQ pork itself.

Marbled Basque "Burnt" Cheesecake, any flavour you'd like

Want a cheesecake that's impossible to screw up? Basque style is the one for you. The cake is baked in a hot oven and intentionally left to "burn". The outside gets deeply burnished brown, the top cracked and sunken, yet somehow the inside stays impossibly soft and creamy. It's the cheesecake with modern sensibilities: casual, boldly flavoursome, textural, and perfectly imperfect. I take it one...

Just made this - incredible, the best base ive made so far
Thank you. I needed this recipe. Now I can kick the Orowheat brand to the curb. 🌺❤️🙏🏽
could i use plant based butter due to being lactose intolerant. the look so good
The way you explained, I subscribe to you
thank you for all your time and work to do these comparisons. I've also had trouble from time to time with the gelatin method and have since been using instant pudding. I appreciate your trials and from that will probably use the marcapone method for a cake filling. That sounds lovely. thank you again :))
Made these lemon barsa few weeks ago; have to say great advice on the brown butter, adding the citric acid and patience with cooking of the curd. All of these techniques work and made the lemon bars taste amazing and texture beautiful. One last thing the bars are were even more delicious the next day.
This recipe has been on my radar to make for a while and today I finally made it. I so greatly appreciate all the detailed instructions and tips, as they’re definitely skills I’ll be able to take with me into other dishes! As a fellow vancouverite and a southeast european, I have some notes to make for anyone else who lives outside north america since ingredients available in canada are often far more bland than elsewhere: >the eggs available in the supermarket here are a far deeper colour, so turmeric is unneccesary (but it won’t hurt in any case) (actually my lemon bar looks more orange than yellow ngl) >mediterranean lemons are so much more sour than californian lemons; eating these bars I’m teetering very carefully between enjoyment and puckering up from the sourness. If I’d added citric acid or cream of tartare, this would plummet into quite the torturous experience, so definitely get to know your lemons before opting for more acidity. >europeans, if you have good local butter, use that. If not, german butter works phenomenally for browning and baking in general I have no notes to add for the crust, this is one of the best crusts I’ve ever tasted and is going straight into the family recipe book 🙏🏻
not too sweet - i totally agree
Wow, they turned out really well, i'm very happy, next time i'm going to put even more potato in there
So basically the potato mash is the substitute for 'Tangzhong' is that right, chef?
I just made this recipe. It is delicious!! I failed at my first attempt bc i used the wrong pan and my curd cooked too fast and i forgot the butter! He even warned against it. Anyhow, second time was perfect. Def a keeper.
This is my first video of you, i am not yet attracted to your recipe.. but,i am attracted to your voice, its soothing ❤❤❤
I love it sir thank you for sharing I ll try it
Sheldo…….most enjoyable, relaxing cooking conversation I’ve watched in a long time! Congratulations….love the science you blend into your cooking as well. I am just about to embark on your lemon bar recipe….will let you know how I go. Can you please post the lemon meringue variation for the lemon bars. Thanks…..wishing you heaps of success with your channel 😊 Indya x
Looks amazing!! 😂 I melted my olive oil spray bottle on the stove just like your scale.. it doesn't pump anymore 😢
I'll take the edges......
Love that you used the term “mango cheeks” 😊
Thank you Thank you Thank you
Is it mandatory to brown the butter?
Would this delicious looking crust be a good one to use for "BUTTER TART" BARS/SQUARES also, or do you think this crust would be too sweet ? I enjoyed your presentation of this bar recipe; and love the "firmness" of the crust, (so many recipes for Lemon Bars end up very crumbly), cannot wait to get more eggs, so that I can make these.
thanks yr😂❤
Thank you Sheldon for the full written recipe ❤😊
Hey Sheldo, greetings from M‘sia. Welcome back and we do miss your posting of videos. Super Awesome step by step and detailed Lemon bars recipe…..in gram too. 🤭 Would really appreciate if you can make a video on how to pasturize egg white and to safely make meringue for consumption, mainly for small children and elderly. Thanks and and see you soon 😊
This was a fantastic test! Thank you so much. I was getting befuddled with all the different recipes I was finding. This cleared it up so much! 👍
my crust mixture is more like warm batter than dough ...? help?
nvm realised the logical step here is add more flour
its nice to see another husky fella get excited over food, cheers!
Your straight-forward recipe turned out perfectly on the first try! I only had coconut cream so I added 1/2 cup of water to the can and added that to the pot, then a splash of water for the sauce. My mum makes great sticky rice the traditional way and was so impressed she's even talking about it the next day. She said it tastes just like it does at Thai restaurants and would be great with other toppings as well. So happy to have this in my recipe rotation, thank you so much!!!!
There’s a Japanese word “teinei” that I always think about when watching your videos. It directly translates to “polite” but it goes beyond that.. anticipating what someone might need without asking, acting humbly, being mindful . Thinking about your recipes for your basque cheesecakes with different measurements. ❤❤❤
It worked out perfectly Sheldo! I'm so happy with the result and the way you make the crust it's definitely a top-notch twist. I wanted to know if you could teach us how to make a crust with almond flour, for example, to make it more keto.

Escape cake
I made my friend this cake for his birthday once! Well, not this exact recipe, I just found this video. It was a big hit, I made it matcha+chocolate marbled flavoured. This is a very good recipe, I can confirm, but one little note: you can use ant kind of starch instead of flour and it comes out just fine. This might be useful if you're, for example, trying to make it gluten free. I used glutinous rice flour recipe for the texture it provides.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe 🙏Can we make chiffon cake eggless? Please let me know. Thanks
Please come back more often Sheldo! You are the only CZcams chef that puts a grin on my face through the whole video 😊
Hi Sheldon, just wanted to know if you can turn this chiffon into a chocolate chiffon ? If so how ? Hehehe TA !

Thank you so much for including different size cake pans. This is often the most difficult part when recipes are made for a pan size that’s not what I want to use. Keep it up!! Thank you!
