Earlier this year family we had family in town to see a Community Theater performance that my daughter was in. They came to the house for pre-show dinner, and my niece made lemon bars.
Now my daughter loves all things lemon.... Ices, sherbert, ice cream, cookies, pie, pudding, you name it - if it's a sweet treat and it has lemon, she is all over it. She was so into the lemon bars I was afraid she would miss her curtain call. But, we jumped in the car in the nick of time, with lemon bar number 3 tucked in a little dish for her intermission snack.
Since everyone was enjoying them as much as her we had precious little leftover. We baked another batch ourselves before the week was out. I even made it in a pie dish a few months later for PI day at school. Such a delicious buttery shortbread crust and creamy lemon custard - there was none left over that day!
We used The Pioneer Woman's recipe but there are ton of recipes out there (all quite similar) and I highly recommend trying one. The lemon bars are very much a crowd pleaser!
