When I asked about Easter desserts, I suggested cheesecake and was voted down. Really. Who turns down cheesecake?!? The troops wanted Tiramisù and lemon squares. Done! I spiked the crust with a yuzu liqueur that my friend Shiho had given me. Yummy.
Ingredients
Yuzu Crust
Procedure
Preheat oven to 350. Place flour, powdered sugar, and salt into a mixing bowl.
Rub in butter till the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in liquid and mix until larger crumbs form.
Press the dough into a 9"x13" baking pan and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown. In the meantime, make the topping. To make the lemon layer, beat together the eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, lemon zest, lemon juice, and liqueur in a bowl till smooth and combined.
Pour lemon mixture over the cooked base. Bake for another 25 minutes. Leave to cool. Before serving, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Slice into squares.
