Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make these scrumptious lemon squares:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
Alright, let’s get into the fun part – making our lemon squares!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and all-purpose flour. Mix until crumbly, and then press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared baking dish. This will be your crust.
- Bake the crust in your preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until it’s just lightly golden. Remove it from the oven and let it cool a bit.
- In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, fresh lemon juice, baking powder, and salt. Mix everything until it’s nice and smooth.
- Pour this lemon mixture over the crust you made and return it to the oven. Bake for an additional 20–25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top looks a little golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Let the lemon squares cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, dust the tops with powdered sugar.
- Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy the tangy goodness!
And there you have it, folks! Easy Fresh Lemon Squares that are bursting with flavor. These bars are perfect for gatherings, or just to treat yourself after a long day. Happy baking!
