3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F For base: Chop almonds very fine.
  • Mix dry ingredients, and cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Press into 8x8 pan coated with cooking spray.
  • Bake 18 minutes.
  • NOTE: I might add more butter next time I do this; the base was a bit too crumbly.

  • Dust with powdered sugar.
