\nInstructions:
\nPreheat Oven & Prepare Pan:Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Brush an 8-inch square baking dish with melted butter and line the bottom with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides to use as handles.

Add in the \u00bc cup of sugar and 4 tablespoons of melted butter and pulse until the mixture is well blended and crumbly.Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and about 1 inch up the sides.<\/p>\n
Bake the Crust: Bake the crust until it is lightly browned, about 8 to 12 minutes. Let the crust cool for 30 minutes before adding the filling.<\/p>\n
Make the Filling: While the crust is cooling, make the filling. In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 large egg yolks and the 1 (14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk.Add the \u00bd cup of fresh lemon juice and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
\nBake the Squares: Pour the filling into the cooled crust and carefully spread it out to the edges.Bake until the filling is set, about 15 minutes.
\nCool & Serve:Cool the squares in the pan on a wire rack, then transfer them to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour before serving.Using the parchment paper overhang, gently lift the lemon square out of the pan and transfer it to a cutting board.With a serrated knife, cut into 16 squares, wiping the knife with a damp kitchen towel between each cut for a clean slice.
\nEnjoy these tangy and creamy treats!<\/p>\n\n
