📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bars:
2
Preheat oven to 350°F with the rack in the middle of the oven. Line an 8x8 baking pan with foil or parchment and lightly grease. Set aside.
3
Combine 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour, along with the baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter and both sugars for one full minute. Add lemon zest, juice, whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, whisking until well combined. Tap the whisk on the side of the bowl to remove all the excess batter, then remove the whisk from the bowl. Add the flour mixture and stir with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon until well combined.

Whisk all ingredients until smooth. You can easily adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar to thicken or more milk to thin. Pour the icing over the cooled bars and spread into an even layer. Place in the refrigerator to firm up, about an hour or so.
