Time 2h5m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 cup butter, softened
4 eggs
2 cups white sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
5 fluid ounces fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
¼ cup confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and then line it with enough aluminum foil to leave overhang along all edges for lifting finished dessert from the pan. Grease the foil.
  • Stir 2 cups flour, 1 cup confectioners' sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest together in a bowl. Mash butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles fine crumbs; press into the bottom of the prepared dish.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Beat eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer until lightened in color.
  • Mix white sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and baking powder in a bowl until no lumps remain; beat into the eggs until incorporated fully. Stir lemon juice and lemon zest to the egg mixture; pour over the prepared crust.
  • Bake in preheated oven until set in the middle and the edges are slightly golden, about 25 minutes.
  • Cool pastry in the pan until just warm to the touch, dust with confectioners' sugar, and cool completely. Lift pastry from pan by the foil and refrigerate until slightly firmed. Cut into 2-inch squares; halve each square diagonally to get triangles.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh lemons. The brighter the lemons, the more vibrant your triangles will be.
  • If you don't have a lemon zester, you can use a fine grater to remove the zest from the lemons.
  • Be careful not to overbeat the batter. Overbeating will make the triangles tough.
  • If you don't have a pastry bag, you can use a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off to pipe the batter.
  • Bake the triangles until they are just golden brown. Overbaking will make them dry.
  • Let the triangles cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

Luscious Lemon Triangles are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their bright citrus flavor and creamy filling, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these Lemon Triangles a try!
