The perfect lemon square for those hot summer days. YES.....there is a lot of sugar in these, you're not seeing things. But please follow the recipe. Do not cut down the amount as that's what makes it so good. Read more . Just go for an extra walk after each square. Haha!!! Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter |
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup sifted confectioners' sugar |
2 cups white sugar |
4 eggs |
1 lemon |
6 tablespoons lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts |
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch pan.
2. To make crust: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, 2 cups of the flour, and confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Scrape mixture into the pan and smooth. Bake 15 minutes.
