Tasty Tuesdays: Grandma’s Lemon Squares

These lemon squares were made by my Great-Grandma, my grandma, my mom, and now me!

They may have been made by generations before that, but I will never know. I like to make them when I am making a variety of bars or desserts as not everyone is a chocolate lover like I am. They are also very simple to make and an inexpensive dessert. I feel like they are perfect especially for summer and spring parties.

Here’s how you make Lemon Squares:

1. First, mix together the first 4 ingredients
2. Press the ingredients into a 9″ x 13″ pan.
3. Bake that layer for 20 minutes while you prepare the next layer. It only has 3 ingredients, and only takes a couple minutes to prepare. 
4. Pour the lemon mixture over the first layer. Bake for 25 minutes, remove, and cool.
5. After it is cooled, sift some powdered sugar on top of the bars, and then cut into squares.
