Recipe – Lemon Squares

I have been soooo frustrated with the kitchen where I’m living – like seriously – sooooo frustrated!! BUT it’s just a kitchen and as such I really shouldn’t let it get to me right?  D So instead of being frustrated I’ve decided to try and work around its inadequacies.  Sure the oven is junk – but it still gets hot and I still have blue ribbons to win for my baked goods so it will have to do!

Today I attempted Lemon Squares.  I used Orgran’s Gluten Free All Purpose Flour and they turned out GREAT!

YAY!!  And that leads me to what I’m grateful for today – Orgran’s Gluten Free Flour. ) I’m so grateful they sell that in Australia because it works like a champ.  You seriously can’t even tell it’s not normal flour.

Lemon Squares

Crust
1 c. flour (or Orgran’s gluten free stuff)
1/2 c. butter
1/4 c. powdered sugar

Lemony goodness
2 eggs
1 c. sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder (gluten-free)
2 1/2 T. lemon juice (freshly squeezed if possible)
Dash of salt

Mix up the crust (it’s easiest to use your hands) and pat it into an 8×8 pan.  Cook at 350F for 20 min or until the edges are lightly golden and WHILE IT’S BAKING!!! … mix up the lemony goodness (you can use a fork or a whisk) and let it sit out while the crust is baking in the oven.  Sounds crazy – I know – but it makes a difference.  When you take the crust out of the oven, quickly give the lemony goodness another whisk or fork through and then pour it over the hot crust.  Bake for an additional 20 min or until the center is just set.

Enjoy!
