Ingredients

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, cold, cubed
  • 2 + 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus additional for dusting
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup Strawberry Guava Milkshake IPA most fruity IPA's could work here! Pick something that compliments citrus.
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
  • In a food processor, pulse the cold butter cubes, 2 cups of flour, powdered sugar and a pinch of salt until combined and crumbly.
  • Press crust mixture into a greased 9x13 baking dish (I like to line mine with parchment paper)
  • Bake the crust for 20 minutes at 350 degrees F.
  • While the crust is baking, make your lemon filling. Whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, lemon juice, IPA, 1/4 cup flour and baking powder.
  • Once the crust has baked for 20 minutes, remove from oven, and pour the lemon filling over the top.
  • Lay the strawberry slices all over the lemon filling (you can also opt to top with strawberries after the filling bakes).
  • Bake for an additional 20 minutes at 350 degrees F, or until set in the center.
  • Remove from oven, and cool completely.
  • Cut into squares, top with a dusting of powdered sugar, and serve!
