A recipe for lemon squares, a popular dessert made with a cookie/buttery short bread crust with tangy lemony topping. I hope everyone loves to eat Lemon bars. When making these bars we have to pre-bake the shortbread crust and pour the lemony filling on the crust and bake it untill it sets. check the video how to make lemon squares/bars from food networks.
This is my 50th post,i am celebrating this happiest moment with this mouthwatering dessert :)
Ingredients:
For Crust:
unsalted butter-11/2 sticks,
sugar-1/4 th cup
all purpose flour-1 cup
pinch of salt
For Filling:
