Lemon Squares
Ingredients:
 |
| Any brand of real butter (3 tbs) |
(Crust)
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup all-purple flour
Pinch of salt
Directions:.
1) Using a fork, mix together the sugar and butter until creamy.
2) Add the flour, a portion at a time and continue mixing until you get a crumb consistency.
3) Press the dough into the bottom of an 8'' baking pan. Poke holes in the dough so it evenly bakes.
4) Bake in a pre-heated 350 degrees F oven for 15 minutes before removing to cool.
While the crust is baking, make your lemon custard filling in the same mixing bowl without washing it:
Ingredients:
4 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons grated lemon rind
2/3 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons powdered sugar to sprinkle on top after baking, pulled, out of the oven, and cooled.
Directions:
1) Beat eggs until foamy with an electric mixer.
2) Toss in the sugar (half at a time) and continue to mix.
3) Add the rest of the ingredients in order and mix until well-blended.
4) Pour the mixture over the baked crust and return to the oven to finish baking.
5) Bake at 350 degrees F for another 23 - 25 minutes or until set.
6) Remove from the oven and rest. While warm loosen the crust and cool in the refrigerator to make it easy to cut into lemon squares.
7) Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar. It looks lovely and hides errors if a square doesn't cut clean.
These lemon squares are simple to make, delicious, and just right in sweetness. Enjoy the treat!🍋
