Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Realemon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Grated lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of powdered sugar.
Cut in 1 cup of unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of granulated sugar, 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.5 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.25 teaspoons of salt.
Add 4 large eggs, 0.75 cups of Realemon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of grated lemon zest to the dry mixture and whisk until smooth.
Pour the lemon filling over the baked crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake the lemon squares in the preheated oven for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until the filling is set and no longer jiggles in the center.
Cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour for easier cutting.
Dust the top with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar before slicing into 24 squares and serving.
