2/3 cup icing sugar
¾ cup softened butter
the lemony top:
3 eggs lightly beaten
1 ½ cup sugar (I use cane sugar)
3 tbsp flour
¼ cup lemon juice (I use organic)

The Method

the shortbread bottom:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Combine ingredients from the first list above:
sugar, flour, softened butter and mix well.
Pat into a greased 9” x 13” baking pan.
Bake @ 350 for 20 min.

the lemon top:
Meanwhile in a bowl whisk the ingredients from the second list:
Eggs, sugar, flour, & lemon juice until it’s frothy.
When the pan is pulled out the oven pour the lemon mixture over the hot crust and put it back into the oven.
Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Cool on a wire rack, then dust with icing sugar and cut into squares.
This recipe freezes extremely well, just cut into squares before you freeze.

So you can start baking for the holidays now!
