Instructions

To Make the Crust

1. Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C.

4. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
5. Bake until lightly browned, 8 to 12 minutes.
6. Let the crust cool for 30 minutes.

To Make the Filling

1. In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks and condensed milk.

3. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and carefully spread it to the edges.

• To enhance the lemon flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the filling.
• Chill the lemon squares overnight for an even firmer texture.
