Here’s an oldie but a goodie! Here is my favorite Lemon Squares recipe – I’ve been making this one for about 8 years or so. Always a favorite! Enjoy π
Yummy Lemon Squares
Crust:
1.5 cups flour
3/4 cup icing sugar (powdered sugar)
3/4 cup butter
Lemon Filling:
6 large eggs
3 cups sugar
1 1/3 cup lemon juice
grated zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup flour
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Sift the flour and powdered sugar for the crust and then add the butter. Mix it by hand – it should be a crumbly texture. Press it into the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch pan. Bake the crust for about 20-30 minutes – it will smell SO GOOD – like shortbread!
Filling: Whisk together the eggs and sugar. Add the zest and lemon juice. (I also squeezed the lemon into it after I used the zest). Sift the flour over the mixture and stir it until its mixed in. Pour over the baked crust and pop it back into the oven for another 35 minutes. Let it cool completely before cutting, then store the bars in the fridge. Enjoy!!
