Yuzu Brown Butter Bars

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Butter and flour a 20 x 30cm baking pan.

To make the crust, sift the icing sugar, flour, and salt into the bowl of your stand mixer.

With the paddle attachment, add the butter and mix on a low speed just until a dough forms. Put the dough in the pan and press it evenly into the base.

Line the crust with baking paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake the crust about 30-40 minutes, until bakes to a golden color.

While the crust is baking, make the filling. Combine the flour, sugar, Yuzu juice, and Yuzu marmalade/Citron tea (optional) in a large mixing bowl. Mix until there are no lumps of flour or sugar.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and the egg yolk with salt. When the crust is just about done, add the eggs into the lemon and sugar mixture and whisk until well combined. Do not do this earlier as the acid from the fruit may effect the consistency of the eggs.

Once the crust is golden, remove the baking paper and pie weights. Pour the filling into the crust.

Reduce the oven temperature to 150 degrees C and bake for 30 – 40 minutes, until the center is set.

Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting. Dust with icing sugar to serve.
