About Lemon square

Lemon squares are a classic dessert originating from American cuisine, praised for their tangy flavor and buttery texture. These treats typically feature a crisp shortbread crust topped with a luscious lemon custard made from lemon juice, sugar, eggs, and flour, often dusted with powdered sugar. While they offer a refreshing citrus flavor and provide some vitamin C from the lemons, lemon squares are also high in sugar and saturated fats, primarily from the butter and sweetened layers. This makes them more of an indulgent treat rather than a health-focused snack. Moderation is key when enjoying lemon squares, as their vibrant taste and rich texture make them a satisfying choice for occasional enjoyment. Perfect for gatherings or as a crowd-pleasing dessert, these zesty squares bring together a sweet and tart contrast that delights the palate.
