When you get the chance to pick ripe lemons off a tree this is the recipe for you. Really it can happen. In Tuscon, Arizona at the KOA you can camp and pick a bag of lemons off the tree beside you. Our friends met us for lunch the other day with a big bag of ripe fresh picked lemons. Oooohhh, my mouth is puckering now.
I stole this recipe from a cookbook that I found in a lending library. Cookbook is called "Gramdma's Favorites". Yes this is one of my new favourites. The lemon layer is like a custard, gooey and good.
Crust
1/2 cup very soft butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
grated lemon peel from 1 lemon
Lemon Layer
4 eggs
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
grated peel of 1 lemon
juice of 1 to 2 fresh lemons - need at least 6 tablespoons
1 teaspoon vanilla
confectioners sugar to dust before serving
Make the crust in a baking tin 13 x 9 x 2. I used a foil pan and it worked great.
To save washing a bowl I put the ingredients all together into the baking pan and worked it together with a fork. When evenly mixed I used a spatula to pat it down.
Bake this crust at 350F for 15 minutes.
In meantime make the lemon layer mix. Large bowl. Whisk the 4 eggs together till mixed, I did it with a hand whisk. In a 2nd bowl add the flour, sugar, baking powder and blend with a fork. Then slowly add this dry mixture to the eggs. Beating with the hand whisk. Next add the lemon peel, vanilla and whisk. Last add is the lemon juice, but slowly while beating with the whisk, not all at once.
Then pour this wet mixture over the crust. Put the pan back in the oven at 350F for 25 minutes. After baked let it cool and cut into squares with a wet bladed knife. Dust with icing sugar when serving.
