Viewed: 64 - Published at: 5 years agoIngredients
- Crust
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sweet unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- Topping
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs or 2 large egg whites, lightly beaten with a fork until foamy
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice (psst -I use bottled lemon juice in this most often)
- 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
- Additional Ingredient
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar or 1/4 cup icing sugar, for dusting tops, approximately
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Combine crust ingredients until mixture resembles crumbs using a pastry blender or a couple of butter knives.
- Press into a greased and floured 8" square glass baking pan using your fingers- press it so that the entire bottom of the pan is covered evenly.
- Bake partially for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven.
- While the crust is prebaking, combine the filling ingredients and pour over the warm crust.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned- do not overbake.
- Let cool completely.
- Once cool, sift powdered sugar over the top- you may need more or less to taste.
- I like mine to look like they've been covered with a snow.
- Slice into bars and serve.
