These delicious cakes are tender shortbread cookies, coated with a soft lemon cream. They are first baked whole pie, and then cut into small squares. Bake the cake separately from shortcrust pastry, pour the prepared lemon cream on it and continue to bake a little more until the cream is frozen. Slice cake on the squares only when it has completely cooled down so that the filling did not blur and retained its shape. Lemon Squares get so tasty with bright sweet and sour citrus taste and excellent texture that you will want them more than once bake. Moreover, the recipe is very simple and quite быстрый.
