Lemony Squares

The smell of lemon is something which soothes my mind and body. I go Zestyyyyyyy (ok that is a little exaggerated)!!!!! This dessert is something I always wanted to try and is adapted from one of my cook books. Easy to make and all the ingredients can be easily available.

Ingredients:

• 2 Cups of Flour
• 1/2 cup of Powdered Sugar 
• 230 gms of  Butter unsalted softened
•  14 oz. Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 4 Eggs
• 2/3  Cup of Fresh Lemon Juice
• A pinch of salt
• 1 tsp. Baking Powder
• 1 Tbsp. of Flour

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 by 13 inch baking pan with aluminium foil and set aside.

In a large bowl combine flour, butter and powdered sugar and mix together until it forms dough. Press the dough in the bottom and half way up the sides of the baking pan and bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes.

In a large bowl combine condensed milk, lime juice, eggs, salt, baking powder and flour. Here you can add 3-4 drops of yellow food colouring to get a bright yellow lemony colour. Well I have opted that out. Mix well.

Pour into the baked crust and bake for 30 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes at room temperature and 2 hours in the fridge until set.

Dust with confectioner sugar and cut into squares.
