Lemon Fairy Melts
BASE
2 cups Unbleached all purpose flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp. Almond Extract
1 cup softened butter (margarine if you prefer)
FAIRY FILLING
4 large eggs, room temp, slightly beaten
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup Unbleached all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 fresh lemon juice (unsweetened from store
can be substituted)
FAIRY FROST
1 cup powdered sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice
Preheat oven to 350. Spoon
flour into measuring cup and level off. Combine all base ingredients in a large bowl and beat at low speed until crumbly.
Press this yummy mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 13X9"pan. Bake at 350 for 20 to 30 minutes or until it turns
a light golden color.
While your base is baking, combine
all the fairy filling ingredients in a large bowl EXCEPT lemon juice. Blend well and add lemon juice last.
Remove the base from the oven and
pour the the Fairy Filling right over the warm base. Right back to the oven, bake at 350 for another 25 to 30 minutes
or until the top is a light golden colour. Let cool about an hour.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the
powdered sugar (1 cup) and enough lemon juice to lightly Fairy Frost the Melts.
