Ingredients
-
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/3 cup sweet unsalted butter
-
1/4 cup powdered sugar
-
-
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
Instructions
- 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.
