Luscious Lemon Triangles

Recipe View Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes) Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Line the dish with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on all sides for easy removal. Grease the foil as well.

Recipe View Craft the Crust: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour, 1 cup confectioners' sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest. Cut in the softened butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Bake the Crust: Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is lightly golden brown, approximately 15-20 minutes. (20 minutes)

Recipe View Whisk the Eggs: While the crust is baking, in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the eggs until they are light in color. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Blend Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and baking powder until well combined and no lumps remain. Gradually beat this mixture into the eggs until fully incorporated. Stir in the lemon juice and remaining 1 tablespoon lemon zest. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Pour & Bake: Pour the lemon filling evenly over the pre-baked crust. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the filling is set in the middle and the edges are slightly golden. (25 minutes)

Recipe View Cool & Dust: Let the pastry cool in the pan until just warm to the touch. Dust generously with confectioners' sugar. Allow to cool completely. (30 minutes)

Recipe View Chill & Cut: Using the foil overhang, carefully lift the pastry from the pan. Refrigerate until slightly firmed for easier cutting. Cut into 2-inch squares, then halve each square diagonally to create triangles. (10 minutes)
