Recipe for Lemon Squares

Preheat the oven to 180° C. Start by preparing the crumbly base for the squares. In the mixer, blend the softened butter with the powdered sugar. Then add the 150 g of flour; you should obtain a crumbly mixture, which you spread in a square tart pan or a square dish. Bake for 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the lemon cream: in the bowl of the mixer, whisk the eggs with the granulated sugar. Then add the remaining flour, lemon juice, and zest. Mix well, then transfer to a saucepan. Thicken over very low heat, stirring constantly. Remove the crust from the oven. Pour the lemon cream on top, then return to the oven for about ten minutes.

Finally, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool completely. Cut into squares and sprinkle with a little powdered sugar if desired. You can also decorate with a bit of lemon zest. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
