Lemon Square

[droqen]

Hello! It's time for Lemon Square. I use this recipe but with adjustments from the comments, so here is the full adjusted version:

Crust:
2 cups (~240g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (227g) butter, softened
½ cup (100g) white sugar, but i have been using 50g for a while...
¼ tsp salt

Filling:
1 ½ cups (300g) white sugar
¼ cup (~30g) all-purpose flour
4 eggs
⅔ cup lemon juice (approx 3 lemons?)
optional: lemon zest from 2 lemons

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• To make the crust: Blend 2 cups flour, softened butter, and 1/2 cup sugar in a medium bowl until well combined; press into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13-inch pan. (If using an 8x11-inch pan, increase cooking time of crust and filling by 5-10 mins each!)
• Bake in the preheated oven until firm and golden, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, make the filling: Whisk remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/4 cup flour in a medium bowl. Whisk in eggs, then lemon juice until smooth; pour filling over the baked crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Set the pan aside to cool completely; the bars will firm up as they cool. When cooled, cut into uniform squares.

Notes on pan choice:

Use the bigger rectangular pan for MORE SQUARES.

Use the smaller rectangle pan for better feel.

(Use the square for even deeper squares.)
