I used a Martha Stewart recipe because none of our cookbooks had such a recipe.
This is my recipe
Lemon Squares
Step 1- prepare.
First thing's first. Preheat your oven to 350˚F. Then you can grease your glass dish. The dish should be relatively rectangular, and with dimensions resembling 9"x 13"
Then, you can line the dish with parchment (it helps at the end, you'll see)
Step 2 - make your crust
Grate the butter with a cheese grater (use the big holes)
(I can't say I've ever grated butter with a cheese grater, but that's what it says!)
Whisk together the flour and confectioner's sugar, and then add the butter and stir with a wooden spoon
You might use your clean hands for this part instead, but combine the butter and the flour misture until it's about crumbly, it will look like this.
Then, you can squish this mixture into your pan (evenly), and refrigerate it for 15 minutes. When it comes out, you can put it in the oven for 14-16 minutes.
In the meantime...
Step 3- make your filling
In a large measuring cup (or jug, you just need something with a lip) whisk together your eggs, flour, and sugar. Then, add the lemon juice, and the milk.
Step 4-put it all together!!
Remove the crust from the oven, and pour the lemon mixture onto the crust.
YUMMY. Then, you can place this back into the oven for 18 minutes or until the edges are brown. The latter it more important. My lemon squares took 25 extra minutes because the lemon bit was much thicker than the recipe's yield.
Keep an eye on it, because this part's fidgety, your lemon squares might cook much slower, or much faster than the recipe (depending on the pan you used.)
After the 18 minutes, you can take the squares out, and sprinkle with toasted coconut, or icing sugar!!
This it where the paper comes in handy. After letting the squares cool enough for the paper to be touchable, you grab two corners of the paper, and place the squares on a plate (have this prepared).
Peel back the paper, and cut into serving sizes! YUM!
enjoy!
I did.
Here's some music to lemon-square-dance to!
