Add Step-by-Step Photos	Pickeringmartha / All my dishes 1 year, 1 month ago The perfect lemon square for those hot summer days. YES.....there is a lot of sugar in these, you're not seeing things. But please follow the recipe. Do not cut down the amount as that's what makes it so good. Just go for an extra walk after each square. Haha!!!... More Prep:30m Cook:35m Servings:24	Pickeringma

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sifted confectioners' sugar

2 cups white sugar

4 eggs

1 lemon

6 tablespoons lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch pan.

To make crust: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, 2 cups of the flour, and confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Scrape mixture into the pan and smooth. Bake 15 minutes.

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and sugar. Grate the rind of the lemon and add the rind, along with 6 tablespoons of lemon juice, to the egg mixture. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour and the baking powder over the mixture. Fold in the nuts and mix until well blended. Pour the lemon mixture into the crust.

Bake for another 35 minutes, until filling is set. Let cool before cutting.

Blast ya, Martha!!!! I'll re-gain all the weight I lost just from LOOKING at these, let alone eating 'em!!! hehehe!! FIVE ! But tell me, please- could this recipe also be made with Splenda instead of regular sugar? ---- I rather suspect it could, because Splenda measures just like sugar, although I find Splenda too sweet, and don't use sugar much.
Thanks. I'm asking because I could make some of these at work for diabetic clients.

LOL..........sorry about that. I know what u mean though. Sometimes trying new delicious recipes doesn't help our waist line does it??? Absolutely u can use Splenda, I don't see why not. I would have no idea how to convert 2 cups of Sugar though. I'm sure u can find out though or maybe u know already. Let me know if u try them with the Splenda. That is a great idea.
Alison :o)
