Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs beaten
  • 0.75 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • powdered sugar for dusting, optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together 1.5 cups of flour, 0.5 cup of powdered sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish to form a crust. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly golden.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons of flour, eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and well combined.
  • Pour the lemon filling over the hot crust. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, until the filling is set.
  • Allow the lemon squares to cool completely in the dish. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.

Notes

Ensure the lemon squares are fully cooled before slicing to get clean, even squares.
