Here's a tangy treat from the 1950s or 1960s. It has a sweet baked crust and tart poured topping. The recipe came via Betty Crocker and Reddit.
I got lots of love for Betty Crocker's Cookbook!
LEMON SQUARES
1 cup Gold Medal Flour
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Heat oven to 350 degrees (Moderate). Measure flour by dipping method (page 5) or by sifting. Blend flour, butter, and confectioners' sugar thoroughly. Press evenly in square pan, 8x8x2 inches. Bake 20 minutes. Beat rest of ingredients together. Pour over crust and bake 20 to 25 minutes more. Do not overbake! (The filling puffs during baking but flattens when cooled). Makes 16 squares.
