Good quality ingredients always pay off, especially in this recipe. These excellent lemon squares were a creation of Melissa Clark of The New York Times.

Steps

1 hour 30 minutes, plus cooling and chilling
  1. 1

    Heat oven to 325 degrees and line a 9-by-9-inch baking pan with enough parchment to hang over two of the sides (to be used as handles later to lift the bars out of the pan).

  2. 2

    To make the shortbread base, pulse together the flour, granulated sugar, confectioners’ sugar, lemon zest and salt in a food processor. Add butter and pulse to cut the butter into the flour until a crumbly dough forms.

    Press dough into prepared pan and bake until shortbread is pale golden all over, 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    While the shortbread is baking, prepare the lemon curd: Grate 2 teaspoons zest from lemons and set aside. Squeeze lemons to yield ¾ cup juice.

  5. 5

    In a small saucepan, whisk together lemon juice, sugar, eggs and yolks, cornstarch and fine sea salt over medium heat until boiling and thickened, 2 to 5 minutes. Make sure mixture comes to a boil and stays there for 30 seconds or so; you should see it thicken up before you take it off the heat. But once it boils do not cook for longer than 1 minute or you risk the curd thinning out again.

    Remove from heat and strain into a bowl. Whisk in butter, olive oil and lemon zest.

  7. 7

    When the shortbread is ready, take it out of the oven and carefully pour the lemon curd onto the shortbread base; return the pan to the oven. Bake until topping is just set, 15 minutes more.

    Allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold before cutting into bars. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar and flaky sea salt right before serving.

I will say I had the pleasure of receiving some of this batch as a gift, and boy were they delicious. A crumbly cookie base and a sinfully tart curd top, what could go wrong? And dressing them with the topping just before serving made me feel like a chef! There were good for several days in a sealed container, and I dare anyone to try and have them in the house for more than a couple of days… It won’t happen but you will love trying! Enjoy
