Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the lemon cake mix, melted margarine, and slightly beaten egg together into a dough.
- Pat the dough out into the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in a tablespoon of lemon zest into the dough for a brighter citrus note. If you don't have margarine, unsalted butter can be used as a substitute. Adjust the sweetness by adding a tablespoon of sugar if desired. A pinch of salt can also enhance the overall taste. Make sure not to overmix the dough; it should be just combined for the best texture.
Serving Suggestions
Lemon squares are delicious on their own but can be served with a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant touch. Pair them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert experience. They also make a refreshing treat alongside a cup of tea or coffee. For a complete meal, serve with Creamed Green Beans And Mushrooms for a savory contrast.
