INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350F. In a food processor grind fine the almonds with
1/4 cup of the confectioners' sugar and 1 cup of the flour, add the butter,
and blend the mixture until it just resembles meal. Pat the mixture into an
8-inch-square baking pan and bake the crust in the middle of the oven for
15 to 20 minutes, or until it is pale golden. Let the crust cool completely
in the pan on a rack.
In the bowl of an electric mixer beat the eggs until they are thick and
pale, beat in the granulated sugar and the lemon juice, and beat the
mixture for 8 minutes. Sift in the remaining 2 tablespoons flour, the
baking powder, the ginger, and a pinch of salt, stir the filling until it
is combined well, and pour it over the crust. Bake the confection in the
middle of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the filling is set and
pale golden. Transfer the dessert in the pan to the rack, sift the
additional confectioners' sugar over the top, and let the dessert cool
completely. Cut the dessert into 2-inch squares.
Makes 16 squares.
