Easy Lemon Squares

butter* (softened)

sugar

flour

salt

eggs

baking powder

lemon juice

lemon

Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Lightly grease and flour an 8x8 inch (20x20cm) square cake pan or line with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, beat on medium speed the butter and powdered sugar until combined then add the flour and beat again until a soft dough forms (approximately 1 1/2 minutes). Pat evenly onto the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake 18-20 minutes. Remove from oven, but leave oven on.

SHORTBREAD BASE

Meanwhile in a medium bowl, beat together, the eggs, granulated sugar, baking powder, fresh lemon juice, pinch of salt and zest. Pour over warm v (not hot) baked base and return to the oven for 20-25 minutes (until the centre is set, I baked mine for 25 minutes, may need to go a bit longer), Cool in the pan, I recommend that you also chill in the fridge for 1 hour for easier cutting, cut into squares, remove from pan, dust with powdered sugar and serve. Enjoy!

LEMON FILLING

Lovely creamy, sweet and tangy Lemon Bars that you can make using only 5 ingredients! Extremely easy to make, this is a perfect first bake if you&#39;re a beginner or just fancy a no-fuss dessert!

5-Ingredient Lemon Bars With Condensed Milk

g oat biscuits

butter

milk

ml lemon juice (from approx. 1.5 lemons)

eggs (medium)

Preheat the oven to 160°C Fan. Line a small baking tray or a loaf tin with baking parchment.

In a large mixing bowl, crush oat biscuits with the end of a rolling pin. Add melted butter and mix well. Tip the mixture into a tray and press down with a back of the spoon. Make sure it gets into all four corners of the tin. Bake for 10 minutes.

In the meantime, whisk condensed milk, lemon juice and eggs with an electric whisk until fully combined and volume slightly increased (about 2-3 minutes).

Pour the lemon mixture on top of the baked oat biscuit base and return to the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the filling sets.

Once baked, cool completely at room temperature. Then chill for at least two hours in the fridge before slicing and decorating with icing sugar and lemon zest, if you wish.

Absolutely delicious! Like a cheesecake but way easier to make and MUCH cheaper! I added frozen raspberries along with the fresh lemon juice and served with vanilla ice cream, everyone loved it!
