Lemon Bars With Shortbread Crust
Lemon Bars With Shortbread Crust
"These Lemon Bars strike the perfect balance between a buttery shortbread crust and a zingy homemade lemon curd filling. With the help of cream of tartar, the filling thickens enough to stay in place. They're sweet, tart, and simply irresistible, perfect for spring, summer, or whenever you're craving something tart. Two things make these the best, the perfect ratio of lemon filling to buttery shortbread, and a zest lemon filling that is firm and holds its shape. These Lemon Squares start with a buttery shortbread crust that's partially baked. A tart lemon filling is added and then baked until it has set. Cool and you can cut into bars that will hold their shape without being gooey. You'll have just the right amount of crust to support the lemon filling."
