Lemon Squares


Mom has kept this notecard for over 20 years with the following list as the only instructions:
  • 2 c flour
  • 1 c margarine
  • 1/2 c powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 6 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 c sugar
  • 1 tbsp flour

Mother!

Here is my attempt to translate:

  1. Grease a 9x11 pan with PAM
  2. Mix the first five ingredients directly in the pan and press to form crust.
  3. Bake 20 min. at 350
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients (extra lemon) and pour on top of crust (can be hot)
  5. Bake another 20-25 min. at 350
  6. Sprinkle with powdered sugar
