Lemon Squares

There are many recipes for lemon squares; this is the best I've found. Rich but truly scrumptious! Enjoy! ... Alyce Cunningham

Ingredients

1-3/4 cups flour

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

1 cup butter, melted (2 sticks)

1 teaspoon salt

Topping Ingredients

4 eggs, beaten

2 cups granulated sugar

4 Tablespoons flour

Juice from 1 large lemon (pick seeds out first with tines of fork)

Pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 x 12-inch pan with foil, shiny side up, leaving enough over ends to lift out when cooled and before cutting. Be careful not to puncture foil.

Dough: Mix 1-3/4 cups flour, confectioners' sugar, butter, and 1 teaspoon salt very well. Spread out with the back of a spoon in bottom of foil-lined pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes to a very light, golden brown. While this is baking, mix the topping.

Topping: Mix the eggs, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and pinch of salt. This settles, so mix well again before pouring over warm crust. Return to oven and bake for 25 minutes more. Cool thoroughly, then lift out by foil ends before cutting into squares. It helps to dip the knife in hot water as you go.
