Lemon Squares

Lemon Squares

The picture at My Kind of Food was calling me.  It was like sunshine captured in one lemony, delicious bar.  And there is something to the words "lemon squares".  I had to make it.  

It took me a while because I’m rather traumatic by anything involving making a crust (the reason I’ve not attempted Quiche Lorraine, an eternal favourite, until now).  But this recipe is easy to follow.  The result was deeply satisfying as refreshing summer dessert.  The tangy flavour also suits my husband who doesn’t have a sweet tooth.  The texture was enticing:  soft, crumbly, neutral biscuit (I managed, yay!) alternates with creamy lemon.  I polished two bars right on the kitchen counter while ‘checking out’ the result. 

Thanks Hungry Gal.  Now I too have something more exciting to bring to dinner parties than my usual Lemon Pound Cake. 

Recipe is verbatim from My Kind of Food (except for those in bold which I tweaked to my taste).
