Lemon squares


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 :)

Preparaation:

1.FOR CRUST: Using mixer,cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour and salt and mix until the it forms a dough.
