LUSCIOUS LEMON BARS
This is from Southern Living - I increased the lemon from 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup. It might just be the type of lemons that grow on my tree - but they just weren't quite tangy enough til I made that change. Everyone LOVES these.

Tips
- For the perfect lemon flavor, use fresh lemon juice and zest.
- To prevent sogginess, make sure the lemon filling is cooked until it is thick and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
- For a smooth and creamy lemon filling, whisk the eggs, sugar, and lemon juice together until they are well combined. Do not overmix.
- To create a crisp and flaky crust, use cold butter and flour. Work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Chill the dough before baking to prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
- Dust the work surface with flour before rolling out the dough to prevent it from sticking.
- To make sure the lemon bars are cooked evenly, rotate the pan halfway through baking.
- Let the lemon bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
- Store the lemon bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
