I found this on the back of a grocery cash register receipt, just don't ask which store! I have NO idea, although the most likely would be Ingles, in Georgia where I used to live. That was were I did 99% of my grocery shopping. I haven't tried it, but intend to very soon. It sounds delicious. Ingredients:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup sugar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
6 tablespoons butter, cold and cut into pieces |
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 eggs |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/2 cup lemon juice |
4 tablespoons butter, melted |
1 tablespoon lemon peel, grated |
Directions:
1. CRUST.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
3. Mix flour, equal or sugar, and salt in medium sized bowl. Cut into this the 6 tablespoons butter with a pastry blender until it is a bowlful of coarse crumbs.
4. Next, sprinkle this with 1 teaspoon of the grated lemon peel.
5. Mix with your hands to form a dough.
6. Press the dough evenly on the bottom and up the side for 1/4 of an 8 square baking pan.
