Yield makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 large egg yolks
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 4 lemons)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter an 8-inch-square baking pan. Line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides; butter paper.
  • With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream butter, confectioners' sugar, and salt until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low. Add flour, and mix just until combined. Press dough into the bottom and 1/2 inch up sides of prepared pan; prick all over bottom with a fork. Bake until lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Whisk together egg yolks, condensed milk, and lemon juice until smooth. Pour over hot crust in pan; return to oven, and bake until filling is set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely in pan.
  • Refrigerate, covered, until filling is firm, about 2 hours (or up to 3 days). Using paper overhang, lift cake onto a cutting board; cut into 2-inch squares. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.
