Use a food processor with the second-to-thinnest blade attachment to slice your lemons. Cut them in half lengthwise if they are too large to fit through the slicer shoot. You can also slice the lemons as thinly as possible (about 1/8 inch) on a cutting board with your sharpest knife. Pick out and discard seeds, if you see any.

In a medium bowl, toss the sliced lemons and sugar. Tightly cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 24 hours and up to 48 hours. The lemons will macerate, releasing some of their juices.

In a food processor, pulse the flour, butter, powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until pebbly in texture, about 30 seconds. Add the egg yolk and pulse for 10 to 15 seconds. The mixture should be crumbly and hold together when pressed between your fingers.

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it down with your hands into an even layer. Use your fingers to help guide it 1/2 inch up the sides. It’s ok if it’s imperfect as long as it’s about the same thickness throughout.

Bake the crust until golden at the edges, about 15 minutes.

Lower the oven temperature to 325°F. You’ll need it to bake the lemon bars.
