Great, simple, classic lemon bar!
Terrible. The times seem off. My crust did morning bake after 25 minutes. Barely any lemon flavour. Do not attempt this, it’ll just end up in the trash.
This is good but I added 1 tsp lemon extract along with the lemon juice and lemon zest...
my family loved the lemon bars, easy to make
Quick and easy to make. I did add lemon zest for even more lemony taste. Received rave reviews from company.... also, my husband's favorite!
We love lemon bars, and this recipe did not disappoint. They are like the name suggests a classic lemon bar. I did add an extra tablespoon of lemon juice because I always do, and would try adding a bit of zest next time.
This has been one of my favorite type of bar desserts for awhile. I wasn't happy with my current recipe so I gave this one a try. It turned out great. I did add some lime powder to the filling ingredients and it had a good tartness to it. I haven't tried it with just the lemon juice yet.
WHERE is the ONE STAR review?? VERY POOR reporting!!
Simple but could have used more zip.
This is the same recipe that I had as a kid. It came out of the Charlie Brown cookbook that I bought in elementary school. But you have to double the lemon juice.
