These Zesty Lemon Delight Squares are a refreshing and tangy dessert perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar for the crust.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of sugar.
Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Cold butter works best for a flaky crust.
Press the mixture firmly into a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
Use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until lightly golden.
Keep an eye on the crust to avoid over-browning.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and lemon juice until smooth.
Whisking well ensures a smooth filling.
Combine the remaining flour and baking powder, then whisk into the egg mixture.
Sift the flour to avoid lumps.
Pour the filling over the baked crust.
Spread the filling evenly for consistent baking.
Bake in the oven for another 25 minutes or until the filling is set.
The filling should not jiggle when done.
Allow the dessert to cool completely on a wire rack.
Cooling helps the filling set properly.
Cut into squares and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
