Canadian Sweet Treats Panel Roundup and Recipes!Lemon Squares (from the much lamented out of print cookbook Stars Desserts) Crust
Filling
To make the crust: Preheat oven to 325 F Combine flour and confectioners’ sugar in mixer and beat on low speed until mixed. Add the butter and continue until the butter is the size of small peas, about 30 seconds. The mixture should be quite dry. Gently press mixture evenly onto the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking pan. To make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar until smooth. Stir in lemon juice and then the flour. Pour the filling on top of the crust. Bake until the lemon filling is set, about 40 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for one hour or keep at room temperature for 3 hours before cutting. Cut into squares and dust with confectioners’ sugar.
Alison was delighted to be on a panel on Sunday, December 3rd titled Canadian Sweet Treats: Food Experts Debate the Classics
Alison debated the merits of Lemon Squares and after a tasting by the audience of all the treats, a vote was taken and Alison's spirited defence of Lemon Squares took the day! Although it should be noted that due to a kitchen misshap the delicious Carrot Pudding could not be sampled. Probably a first where a Butter Tart recipe entered a contest and didn't win! Enjoy these classic desserts this holiday season courtesy of some of Canada's finest cooks & authors. |
