This recipe came from my mom's New Southern Basics cookbook. I'm usually pretty fussy about my lemon squares, but these are the best ive come across so far. Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup powdered sugar |
1/2 cup butter |
3 lemons, juice and zest of, grated |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven at 350.
2. Crust:.
3. Mix together flour and sugar.
4. Cut the butter into pieces and mix in just until the mixture will cling together.
5. Press the crust into the bottom of a 9-inch square pan and bake for just 10 minutes.
6. Filling:.
7. Zest the lemons before you juice them.
8. Beat the sugar into the eggs and stir in the rest of the ingredients.
9. Pour over the pre-baked bottom layer and cook for another 20 minutes longer, until the filling is set.
