Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Gradually add the flour, chopped nuts, baking powder, and salt to the butter mixture, combining until a dough forms.
-
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the first layer of the dessert.

Bake the dough for about 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool while you prepare the lemon filling.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and eggs until well combined.

Pour the lemon mixture over the baked crust, spreading it out evenly to form the second layer of the dessert.

Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the lemon filling is set.

While the dessert is baking, you can prepare the nut crunch topping. Simply mix some additional chopped nuts with a bit of sugar and butter in a small bowl.
-
Sprinkle the nut crunch mixture over the baked lemon layer and return the dish to the oven for a final 10-15 minutes, or until the topping is golden and crisp.
-
Once done, remove the Lemon Butter Layers with Nut Crunch from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing into squares or bars.
