Doubled the filling recipe using a total of 1 1 4 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice and added an extra 2 tbsp flour. Kept shortbread recipe as is but added 1 tsp lemon zest. Have made this recipe many times the following changes make these bars a 5. So here are the small changes i made to quell the lemon monster. Pour over the crust and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the filling is set.
In a bowl combine the flour butter and confectioners sugar. I love lemon bars but they often fall by the wayside and get forgotten for months at a time in our house. Bake until filling is set may need to add 2 3 minutes depending on your oven and baking pan i also bake crust an extra 2 minutes. Cooked crust to recipe instructions but needed to extend the filling cook time to 30 minutes. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
Let cool to room temperature. Use a ceramic or glass pan. We re much more of a chocolate chip cookie chocolate pie chocolate sheet cake chocolate ice cream chocolate potato chip chocolate everything household followed by fruit cobblers and crisps so i sometimes have to remember to bring lemon bars back into the forefront from time to time. Halve each of the ingredients to yield around 12 squares in a 9 9 inch baking pan. I always detect a slight metallic flavor in the lemon bars when baked in metal pans.
