Looking for the pastery for lemon squares,
I have the lemon filling already. does anyone have the recipe for the pastery (squares) ? I have looked everywhere.
A friend of mine makes the best lemon squares. Even though you have the filling, I'm going to share the entire recipe for anyone that's interested. Have you considered using a simple phyllo dough? Anyhow, here goes:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sifted confectionery sugar
1 cup butter or margarine
4 beaten eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp. baking powder
Sift together the 2 cups flour with the confectioners sugar. Cut butter or margarine in until mixture comes together and is crumbly. Press into a pan (9 x 12?) sprayed with Pam. Bake at 350 oven for 20-25 minutes until light brown.
Beat together eggs, granulated sugar and lemon juice. Sift together 1/4 cup flour and baking powder. Stir into the egg mixture. Pour over the baked crust.
Bake 350 for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar. Cool. Cut into bars.
That's the same recipe we use. Grandma and mom passed it down to me.

Has anyone ever tried using lemon concentrate instead of fresh lemon juice?
Looks similar to one I use - lemon squares are delicious at any time.
