I have a lemon tree and everyone loves my bars. Another tip: use very cold, even frozen butter and shred it with the large holes on a cheese grater. I got this idea from some Martha Stewart recipe. It works great!

I think 1 cup of lemon juice is too much. My latest batches have used 3/4 (Still a little too sour for me) to 2/3 cup. Perfect. Also, if you have extra zest, add it to the crust mixture before baking.

The crust is buttery and tastes like a shortbread cookie. Filling is tangy and can be adjusted to personal taste and tolerance for lemon. Crowd pleaser.

I measured the 4 “medium” lemons and got 1/2 cup lemon juice and about 2 Tbsp zest. I increased the juice and zest to almost 1 full cup juice (this was after my 3rd batch, yum!) and 3 Tbsp zest. With the extra juice I added another Tbsp flour.

A helpful tip is to line the pan with parchment paper. Otherwise they can be difficult to lift from the pan.
