Yuzu Squares

I wanted the cookie part to be quite thick, and the rich topping part to be fairly thing...that was the balance I was aiming for.

The yuzu juice is not used. Use it in hot pots, or mix with honey and hot water and enjoy as a drink.
This tastes better the next day than when it's freshly baked. Recipe by Setsubunhijiki

Ingredients

6 servings
  1. 100 gramsUnsalted butter
  2. 200 gramsCake flour
  3. 3 tbspGranulated sugar
  4. 3 tbspMilk
  5. 2 tbsp☆Cake flour
  6. 1/2 tsp☆Baking powder
  7. 5 tbsp☆Granulated sugar
  8. 2☆Eggs
  9. 1yuzu fruit's worth ☆Grated yuzu peel
  10. 1Powdered sugar

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Line the cake tin with parchment paper. Cut the butter into 1 cm dice and chill in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Sift the cake flour. Combine the butter, flour and granulated sugar until it's the consistency of fine panko, using the same produce you would use to make scones.

  3. 3

    Add the milk, and mix with a rubber spatula until crumbly.

  4. 4

    Press the mixture firmly into the cake tin with your fingers. Bake at 180°C for 25 minutes.

  5. 5

    Sift the ☆ cake flour and ☆ baking powder into a bowl. Add the other ☆ ingredients and mix with a whisk (don't beat it though).

  6. 6

    Pour this on top of the baked crust, and bake for another 20 minutes. If the top is browning too much, cover with a sheet of aluminum foil.

  7. 7

    Take it out of the oven and let it cool down completely before taking it out of the pan. Dust with lots of powdered sugar using a tea strainer. Slice off all 4 edges (check the taste) and cut into 9 squares.

  8. 8

    It looks pretty if you decorate the top with a little grated yuzu peel.
