I made lemon bars

I've never had a lemon bar, but whenever I've seen a picture
of them they look *really* good. USA Today magazine had a
recipe so I went for it. Really easy and boy, they're as delicious
as I thought they would be.

Not being a baker, the recipe looked pretty foolproof for me, and
there was a video to really seal the deal.

I used Meyer lemons. I'm thinking it might be nice to bring these
at Easter.

My version first arrived at our table circa 1960 in a Betty Crocker
cookbook....gawd...they are good! I hope you enjoyed them. I have
even substituted orange juice, lime juice and cranberry juice. So
Good and SO EASY.

I saw that recipe and cut out the page. It did sound good.

When I was a kid the bakery made lemon squares with a flaky, delicate
top and bottom crust and a filling like lemon meringue pie.
They were delicious and I don't remember them being as sweet
as lemon bars.

I really did, they are even better than I expected. What took me
so long.


That's what made me go for it, not only did they have very few
ingredients, but it looked super easy. And it was! Thanks for
the other ideas.

It's hard to find a lemon bar recipe you like, at least it is for me.
Congratulations!

The only time I've ever liked lemon bars was when I made them with
Meyer lemons. They were so incredibly good! I used the recipe in
Baking with Julia.

Why what? I like mine on the tart side too, that's why I said
congratulations. I haven't found one that I like yet and I'm not
going to use anything that I didn't squeeze out of a lemon. If I'm
going to do that, I might as well stick with commercial lemon bars.

Zest a lemon, throw some zest in the bars. I use a ginger grater to zest for
lemon pie (much finer), why should lemon bars be any different?

Take a look at True Lemon, even if you don't buy it. It is very
useful, IMO, because you get the natural lemon flavor when you
can't add more liquid. (Sure, I'd use lemon juice first.)

I've already tried that stu. If the juice goes in, so does the zest.

Still not lemony enough for me. It was better when I increased the
juice, but still was not tart enough. It's a work in progress, but I
am tired of eating lemon bars for the time being.

LOL! I remember trying to make nonsweet lemon cookies. That was
before True Lemon came out. I keep intending to try to do this
again, but now I shouldn't be eating useless calories--or so I say.

:) I'm convinced! What part of the grocery store should I look in
for that product? Am I wrong? It looks like it's dry and in packets.
