Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons will give your lemon bars the best flavor. If you can't find fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the lemon bars tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the lemon bars until the center is just set. The lemon bars will continue to cook as they cool, so it's important to not overbake them. The center of the lemon bars should be slightly jiggly when you take them out of the oven.
  • Chill the lemon bars before serving. Chilling the lemon bars will help them to set and will make them easier to cut.
  • Serve the lemon bars with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. This will add extra flavor and richness to the lemon bars.

Lemon bars are a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With their bright lemon flavor and creamy texture, they are the perfect treat for any occasion. Whether you are serving them for a special occasion or just as a simple dessert, lemon bars are sure to be a hit.
