Its great to be in Florida for the winter especially to have the ability to pick fresh fruits and vegetables. We have a lemon tree in our backyard and with that said I decided to bake Lemon Squares.
2 1/4 cups sifted flour
1 cup confectioner’s sugar
1 cup melted butter
4 eggs
2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup lemon juice
zest from 3 lemons
pinch of salt
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray vegetable oil (PAM) into a 9″ x 13″ baking pan.
In a medium bowl stir together 2 cups of flour, confectioner’s sugar and the melted butter, Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake in the oven for approximately 15 minutes (until golden brown) In a medium bowl beat the eggs until light and fluffy, combine the sugar, baking powder and sifted 1/4 flour. Slowly add the sugar mixture into the egg mixture and incorporate well. Add in the lemon juice and zest and mix. Pour the mixture over the baked crust and return to the oven. Bake 30 minutes. Allow to cool then refrigerate before cutting into squares.
