Ingredients
For the Crust:
For the Topping:
½ cup unsalted butter, softened 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted ¼ cup powdered sugar
½ cup powdered sugar Additional lemon juice, as needed for drizzling
For the Filling:
2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 large eggs, beaten 1 cup granulated sugar 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour ½ teaspoon baking powder
Instruction
Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a square 8x8-inch baking pan very well. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, sifted flour, and powdered sugar. Mix until a crumbly dough forms. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the greased pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, sift together the granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and baking powder. In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the sifted dry ingredients. Finally, stir in the lemon juice until well combined. Pour and Bake: Pour the lemon filling over the partially baked crust, spreading it evenly. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden. Cool and Top: Let the lemon squares cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, sift 1/2 cup powdered sugar over the top. Drizzle with a little extra lemon juice if desired for added flavor. Chill and Serve: Chill the lemon squares in the refrigerator before cutting. Use a chilled knife for cleaner slices. Enjoy!
