Do NOT go by the final baking time in the recipe! The initial 15min for the crust is fine, but final bake should be closer to 20, not 30min

They were delicious. Might need to come out of the oven a few minutes earlier.

big hit! if you can wait, cut and chill in fridge, but still reaaally good non chilled.
Also think this should work very well as lime / key lime bars.

I love the cookie tasting crust and I love the custard the lemon custard but I need to make more of the living custard the next time and using deeper dish because it was too much crust for me

These turned out amazing! Time consuming, but well worth it. My father - hard to please - said they tasted amazing. Just like his grandmother used to make them!

The recipe measurements were not clear at all. You need a lot more of sugar and flour than what the initial ingredient list said.
Personally, I replaced all of the sugar with baking stevia (except for 1/2 cup of sugar in the crust)
and maple extract instead of vanilla
For those having trouble with the amount of lemon juice. Just juice all of the lemons you used for the zest in it. (3/4 cup)
As for the taste? It was pretty good :) it was my first time making lemon bars. I didn’t expect it to look cakey on top but it is and the center is the consistency I thought it would be. Could’ve been much more tart though.
