How To Make lemon squares
-
1Grease a 9 x 9 inch microwavable pan
-
2To make the base: Mix the flour, confectioner's sugar and lemon zest. Melt the butter and combine with flour mixture. The mixture will be crumbly. Pat it into the greased pan. Microwave for 3 minutes at power level 8 until the base is firm(depending on the microwave strength it may take another minute)
-
3To make the filling: Combine the sugar, lemon zest, eggs, flour, baking soda, salt and lemon juice in a medium-size bowl. Beat for 2 minutes. Pour over base. Return pan to microwave and cook at power 8 for 3 minutes until the filling is set but has a slight wiggle (like jello)Depending on the strength of your microwave it may need another minute. Cool completely. Refrigerate a minimum of 4 hours or overnight. Cut into squares and transport in a sealed plastic container. because the filling contains eggs, transport the squares n an ice-filled cooler as a precaution.
