How to Make Mrs Paradine's Lemon Squares
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
- In a medium bowl, crumble 12 soda biscuits (about 2 cups) with your fingers. Add 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Mix well.
- Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional).
- Press half of the crumb mixture into the bottom of an 8x8x2 inch baking pan. Pat it down evenly.
- Pour the lemon mixture evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the lemon filling.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is lightly golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let cool completely before cutting into squares. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for optimal serving.
