I had to bake for guild the other day. As I said before, I don't bake very often. I usually buy something, get a rash from the additives, then swear I won't eat that crap again......except for Walmart's white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. lol
So I really didn't know what I wanted to make for guild....or buy.... I have been cruising pinterest and found a recipe for lemon squares...Easy lemon squares...hmmmm...so I thought I would give the recipe a try.
You use a angel food cake mix and a can of lemon pie filling. Mix the two together and bake. That's it!
I didn't have a can of lemon pie filling, but I have a a Sheriff pie filling mix and an angel food cake mix. I searched and searched on-line, and didn't find any recipes or anyone else who used a package of pie filling.
I decided to give it a try....
First I cooked the pie filling, it took 2 egg yolks plus 2 1/3 cups of water. I decided that I would whip the egg white and use them too. When I cooked the filling I thought I would reduce the water to 2 cups and added a big squirt of Italian lemon juice. ( I like lemon). I let it cool, then added it to the whipped whites, then added the cake mix. Mixed it throughly and it started to puff up right away. Poured it into a foil lined 9" x 13" pan,baked it according to the package directions. It looked nice, smelled great! I sprinkled powdered sugar over it. And we had a taste.
YUMMY! It's too moist for the powered sugar. It just melted and you never knew it was there..Next time, I'll leave it off.
