Time 1h

Yield 15 squares

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for sprinkling
4 large eggs
5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from about 2 large lemons)
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Mix the flour and confectioners' sugar in a bowl and add the melted butter, mixing until a dough forms. Press the mixture firmly into a 9- by 13- by 2-inch pan. Bake the crust for 25 minutes.
  • For the filling: While the crust is baking, with an electric mixer, combine the eggs, lemon juice and zest until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, flour, baking powder and salt, and beat until smooth. Pour the mixture over the baked crust. Bake for 20 minutes more.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely. Sprinkle the top with confectioners' sugar. Cut into squares and serve.

These lemon squares are the best I've ever had! The crust is perfectly buttery and flaky, and the lemon filling is tart and refreshing. I highly recommend this recipe.

These lemon squares were okay. They were easy to make, but the flavor was just average. I wouldn't go out of my way to make these again.

I was a bit disappointed with these lemon squares. The crust was a bit too dry and the lemon filling was too tart for my taste. I wouldn't make these again.

These lemon squares were a hit with my family! They were so easy to make and tasted delicious. The lemon flavor was perfect, not too tart and not too sweet. The crust was also perfect, buttery and flaky. I will definitely be making these again.
