Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 1 stick salted butter
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar

For the Filling

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice about 5-6 lemons
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 pint raspberries pureéd (save 9 whole berries for garnish)

For the Garnish

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 9 whole raspberries

Instructions

  • To make the crust, cream together butter and sugar until pale yellow. Add flour and mix until a crumbly ball forms.
  • Press the dough into the bottom of a lightly greased square 8x8 pan.
  • Bake in a 350 preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges.
  • While the crust is baking make the filling by beating eggs, lemon juice, sugar, flour, and raspberry pureé together in a large bowl.
  • Let sit while crust finishes baking and then give it another quick whisk right before pouring it into the pan.
  • When the crust has finished baking pour the mixture over HOT crust and bake for another 20-25 minutes or until just set.
  • Allow to cool for several hours (overnight is best) before removing from the pan, slicing into bars, and dusting with powdered sugar.
