Ingredients

  • 1/2 cups Butter
  • 1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 3/4 cups Finely Ground Walnuts
  • 1/2 cups Brown Sugar, Packed
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 3 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 2 teaspoons Grated Lemon Rind
  • 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • Powdered Sugar For Dusting (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix the ingredients for the base (butter, flour, walnuts, brown sugar) together until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Press the mixture into the bottom of an 8 or 9 inch square pan.
  2. 2
    Bake at 350° for 15 - 20 minutes, or until it is golden brown around the edges.
  3. 3
    While that's baking, mix the sugar and eggs together until pale yellow. Then stir in the flour, lemon juice, lemon rind, and baking powder.
  4. 4
    Pour the lemon mixture over the baked base and bake for another 25 - 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and appears set. Let cool and cut into squares. Sift powdered sugar over the top, if desired.
  5. 5
    These are best eaten the same day. As if that would be a problem.
