Baking

Lemon Lavender Squares

I came across this recipe for Lemon Lavender Squares in the back of a Country Living magazine and knew I had to try it.  Because I am so organized, I set the magazine in a safe place and promptly forgot where I put it!  That was last October.  Fast forward to last weekend and I finally found the magazine again!

The recipe is an excerpt printed in the October 2013 edition from The Beekman 1802 Heirloom Dessert Cookbook!

I have to admit I usually find lemon squares turn out a bit thin and end up a bit runny.  But not these babies!  They were a nice thick square with a lightly floral crust and an extra tangy lemon filling that stays nice and firm!

Just a quick word of warning!  I have started to try and shoot my photos using manual focus.  I hope they are not a total mess but practice makes perfect!  Have I ever got a lot of practicing to do!

Since I made these Lemon Lavender Squares exactly as the recipe was printed, click here to view it via Country Living Magazine!

ENJOY!

      You will be glad to know I had the same problem Barb! These bars come together well and hold their shape nicely!

    These look so beautiful! I think your photos look great, but I have zero knowledge of using anything but auto with my camera!

      Thank you Cajun! Learning to shoot in manual is a long process (for me anyway!!)

    My husband loves anything with lemon so I can’t wait to give these a try. Putting that magazine away for safe keeping and then forgetting where you put it, sounds just like ME 🙂 Being organized is wonderful but it can also sometimes throw a kink in your plans…especially if you’re me …
