Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking pan well.
- Step 2
Whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 cup confectioners’ sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Add the melted butter and stir until mixture has an even texture. Transfer to the pan and pat out to even thickness. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Step 3
Reduce heat to 300 degrees. Whisk together eggs and granulated sugar until well combined. Add the remaining ⅓ cup flour and the verjuice, and stir well. Pour over shortbread and bake until just set, about 30 minutes.
- Step 4
Allow to cool completely in pan, then cut into 24 bars. Sieve the remaining 3 tablespoons of confectioners’ sugar over the top before serving. These bars will keep, covered and refrigerated, for about 3 days.

I don’t know why no one has reviewed these yet! I made them for a party (the verjus was found at a local gourmet store but is also sold on amazon) and they were such a hit. The recipe was super simple and the flavor was way more interesting than a lemon bar. I upped the verjus a little bit but next time will just use less sugar in the custard.
Made this for dinner tonight, couldn’t find Verjuice anywhere near me so used white wine vinegar, I read this was a good substitute. The bars were pretty good a little tart for me though.
Delightful!
