Granulated sugar
Salt
Unsalted butter
Large egg
Vanilla extract
Fresh raspberries
Fresh lemon juice
Lemon zest
Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the large egg, vanilla extract, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to break them apart too much.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Swirl more raspberries into the top if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow to cool completely in the pan before dusting with powdered sugar and slicing into bars.
Notes
For added flavor, try mixing in some lemon extract with the wet ingredients. Ensure the bars are completely cool before cutting to maintain their shape.
