Lemon Bars. For some reason, making them has always intimidated me; I had this vision that the lemon wouldn’t set and I’d have a runny liquidy mess. Well, there is a lot of pressure to get a recipe right the first time when you are photographing the results; and naptime only happens once a day. But success! They turned out delicious. The sides turned a bit brown using the timing indicated on the recipe, but far from burnt!<\/p>\n

\"Use
Use a whisk or fork when cutting in the butter. Basically, smush it into the flour without over mixing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The recipe was easy to follow, and the bake time for the crust is just long enough to complete the Lemon topping. A new favourite around here!<\/p>\n
