A sweet coconut twist on the ever popular lemon squares.
Total Time: 20 minutes prep time 50 minutes cooking time
Yield: Serves 24
Source: A little taken from a few recipes, the coconut and confectioners topping was my idea. Something different!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 cup melted butter
- 4 eggs, beaten with mixer
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch salt
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 5/8 cup Real Lemon juice
- 1/4 cup sifting confectioners' sugar
- 1/3 cup flaked coconut
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease (I spray oil) and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
- In a medium bowl, stir together 2 cups of flour and 1 cup confectioners' sugar.
- Blend in melted butter.
- Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until golden.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs with mixer until light.
- Combine the white sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1/4 cup of flour so there will be no flour lumps.
- Stir the sugar mixture into the eggs. Finally, stir in the lemon juice. Pour over the prepared crust and return to the oven.
- Bake for an additional 30-40 minutes or until bars are set.
- Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.
- Using a sifter, sift accross the squares with a light coating of confectioners' sugar and scatter a light coating of flake coconut. Then put in the broiler for 3-5 minutes, just to toast the coconut. Watch it carefully! Enjoy!
