Directions
Special Day Lemon Bars,I originally got this recipe from “Barefoot Contessa” on Food Network. I wrote down all the ingredients as I was watching and made them to take to a family gathering. They were a huge hit, even with the people who don’t normally like Lemon Bars. When I finally got the official recipe from “The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook,” Copyright 1999, I realized I hadn’t made them exactly like they were supposed to be made. However, they’re so well loved by my family now, I just keep making them my way.,If you like a thick lemony curd in your lemon bar this one is for you! First I did make the most popular lemon bar on the site, and same as alot of people I had trouble getting the crust out of the pan. This crust came out with no trouble, maybe it’s this recipe calls for regular sugar and not powdered? I also put the added zest of 4 lemons. These are truly going to be my go to lemon bars! Thanks for posting! 🙂
