Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3/4 cup of butter (Crust)
  • 1/2 cup of white sugar
  • 2 cups of flour
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 4 eggs (Filling)
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons lemon rind
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instruction

  • Kick the tires and light the fires to 325 degrees.
  • Mix the flour and sugar then cut the butter in.
  • Add the lemon zest.
  • Mix completely then press into the bottom of an 8x8 baking pan.
  • Bake in the oven for 9-12 minutes until the base has browned. Remove and set to the side.
  • Continue with the filling. Mix the sugar, baking soda and flour together.
  • Whip the eggs, one yolk and whipping cream in a bowl, add the lemon juice and rind, then add the dry ingredients in.
  • Pour the filling on the crust. Bake in a 325 degree oven until the middle is set. The lower temperature makes the top end up a lot less brown, as most recipes tell you at the end to cover the too-browned top with icing sugar.
