1/4 tsp Salt
TOP LAYER

1 tsp Grated lemon zest (do this before getting the juice)
1/2 tsp Baking powder
Bottom Layer: Beat first 4 ingredients until smooth. Press firmly in greased 9''x9'' pan. Bake in 350F over for 20 minutes until just golden.
Top Layer: Whisk all 6 ingredients in small bowl until smooth. Pour over bottom layer. Bake for 20 minutes until set.
EAT! It's really really good. I've finished half my pan already, and I finished making them quite late last night.
Also, funny story about why I decided to bake these: I was procrastinating and watching You-Tube videos, when one of those annoying commercials came on. It was something to do with yogurt that tasted like cheese cake and that made you loose weight. What I got out of it was an incredible urge to eat cheese cake. I then looked up recipes online and decided that it was too much work, so I settled on baking lemon squares. I was very glad that they turned out to be good! :)
Ingredient list sounds yummy. I am going to get Mika to make some.
ReplyDeleteWe have a bag of 13 lemons in the fridge to use up! I went shopping with Nicholas and he calculated that it was cheaper to buy a bag of 13 lemons for $3.99 than buy 2 for $.99. We only needed 1 lemon but I couldn't deny his math and thriftiness.
Good idea! Let me know if it goes well.
ReplyDeleteAnd good job to Nicholas and his math skills! Make lemonade with the extra lemons, and sell it on the street for even better savings! :p
