Lemon bars

CarFar

Anyone have a great recipe ? I used Ina Gartens recipe, and she's never let me down before, Maybe I just over cooked ? They came out ok, but are Kinda egg-y for my taste. I like My lemon bars to taste like lemon curdand these tasted more like lemon custard, and weren't very moist.

Bummer. My MIL makes great lemon bars. I'll see if I can get her recipe for you.

I'm a bad Martha Stewart-wannabe. I baked mine from a Krusteaz box.

Despite having a lemon tree, no I don't have a good recipe. I've made the America's Test Kitchen recipe a few times and did not love it. I keep meaning to look for a Martha Stewart recipe, or maybe just cut out an egg?

Shelly, I was totally going to give you some as a thanks for the lemons, but they are not up to snuff, edible, but not good enough to give to you good thing I have more lemons and can test recipes until one has the taste I want

I've made this recipe three times.  I think there's something amiss with my current oven, but the first time I made it (old apt), they were fabulous.  GL!

No worries my dear. We have more lemons than we know what to do with! I am happy to share. If you find a great recipe though, do share that!

This recipe is pretty divine. It uses meyer lemons, so you'll have to adjust the sugar up but besides that I love it. I generally skip the powdered sugar on top.

I always loved lemon bars when I was at a little bakery/coffee shop, but they're like $3 each so were for sure a treat...then I tried this recipe and found out how EASY they are to make! No more buying them for me!

The lemons I gave her ARE Meyers so this would work well I think without increasing the sugar? I might have to try these too!

These are the ones that I make all the time and they are delicious.
