Lemon Squares

I made these squares for my Fun Food Fact Friday presentation. I found this recipe in an old school cookbook.

Ingredients
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup icing sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup margarine
  • 4 beaten eggs
  • 6 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 Tbsp. flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 2 cups sugar
 Directions
Crumble together 2 cups flour, icing sugar, butter, and margarine. Spread into a 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake  at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and spread the following mixture over the top. Mix eggs, lemon juice, salt, 4 Tbsp. flour, baking powder and sugar. Spread over base. Return to oven and bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes. Sprinkle lightly with icing sugar while warm. Cut into squares when cool.

Things I changed: I didn't have the right kind of margarine so I used all butter. Also, the squares were still pretty gooey, next time I'll put them in for longer.
