My Shortbread Lemon Squares Recipe
Stealing a line from Kramer in a Seinfeld episode in reference to Junior Mints..."Those can be very refreshing." The same can be said for lemon squares.
The lemon squares are sweet yet tart. They're great as a dessert or snack.
Here's the recipe....
CRUST
Mix
2 cups of flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup of softened butter
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
press crust mixture into an ungreased 9 x 13 pan
bake for 20 minutes until crust is golden brown
Important..after you remove the crust, keep the oven on at 350 degrees
LEMON FILLING
Mix
2 cups granulated sugar
4 tablespoons of flour
1/3 cup of fresh lemon juice
rind of one lemon
4 eggs
Pour the filling over the crust right away. Don't let the filling sit around.
Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
Dust with powdered sugar.
Chill in fridge for about an hour.
Cut into squares and enjoy!
