Recipes/Lemon squares
A fragment of the Garden of Remembering
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup butter
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 5 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Heat oven to 350F. Mix thoroughly flour, butter, and powdered sugar. Press into ungreased baking pan, 9x13x2 inches, building up a 0.5 inch edge.
Bake 20 minutes.
Beat remaining ingredients about 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Pour over hot crust. Bake about 35 minutes longer (25 for half batch), or just until no imprint remains when touched lightly in centre. Cool and cut into squares.
NOTES
May need considerably more lemon juice. Keeps coming out insufficiently lemony, so always err on the side of too much, not too little. Maybe go with a quarter cup? Taste before adding eggs, should be properly zesty, literal zest aside...
Lemon juice may also have gone bad. Check ahead of time for weird.
