How to Make Creamy Lemon Squares
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- While the crust is baking, prepare the lemon filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and cornstarch until smooth.
- Pour the lemon filling over the hot, baked crust.
- Bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and no longer jiggles.
- Let the lemon squares cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set completely.
- Once chilled, cut into squares and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
