Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as bright.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough.
  • Bake the bars until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • For a richer flavor, use almond extract instead of vanilla extract in the filling.
  • For a more decadent dessert, top the bars with a layer of whipped cream or ice cream.
