These lemon bars are the perfect balance of tart and sweet. The crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is creamy and smooth.

I used a gluten-free flour blend to make these lemon bars and they turned out great! They were just as delicious as the regular version.

The only thing I would change is to add a little bit more lemon zest to the filling. I like my lemon bars to be extra tart.
