Lemon Bars
My daughter requested some of these Lemon Bars. I can’t eat them, soooo, I can’t tell you first hand how they turned out. But, she did give it two thumbs up. Barely. She was holding a lemon bar in her hand.
Never made this before, so I got the recipe from Land o Lakes. Follow it to a T, other than using the Land o Lakes eggs. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Land o Lake eggs. Have you? If so, let me know where. The recipe stated I would end up with 18 bars. And you will, if you cut them smaller. However, I ended up with 9 squares.
Very easy, in fact, a lot easier to make than I thought it would be. These would be perfect to take to a school function, family get together, maybe even a potluck, or Church. You will need a little time for them to cool before serving. So, keep that in mind when you plan your serving time.
Have you ever made a recipe before that you couldn’t test to see if it taste ok?

It’s been ages since I’ve made such bars, and it’s a shame as my family loves sweets with lemons
