Lemon Squares

[1085raggmopp]

@Dudeifwhat another recipe I looked at substituted the crust for sugar cookie dough you might like that better

[Dudeifwhat]

I just made this recipe and i LOVED the lemon part. i didn't like the crust though, i never have.. its just the smell of it makes me sick. I don't know why, every time i smell it i lose my appetite weather its with the recipe or any other

@bunnyxv Hmm, that's disappointing. I'm sorry that happened. I would suggest that perhaps your oven bakes hotter....or perhaps the butter wasn't cut fine enough into the flour? Did you proceed with the recipe anyway? Did it turn out ok?

I this recipe... Very good. eating them right now LOLOLOLOLOL

I tried 2 lemon squares today that I saw in YouTube. Compared to other posting, your recipe by far came out so good. It melts in your mouth. Thank you for posting your wonderful recipe. Your instruction was also well understood. This is my first time to bake lemon squares. By the way, I have a lemon tree so I zest about 4 lemons and used it in the recipe. Turned out great!

@mldive You're sweet to let me know, thank you!

I've been looking for a recipe that seemed close to the lemon bars they drooled over in one of my favorite shows, Las Vegas. That episode was one of the best! Thanks for uploading!

Yummy...looks soooo delicious. Thanks for posting this angie ;). Oh and i luv the lighting..where did you bought it from? because i saw the same in IKEA!

[a1angiem]

I think it was Home Depot!

[suridance]

[nakita13williams]

you dont need baking powder

[Angel4795]

Can i use baking soda instead of baking powder?

[a1angiem]

No, sorry.

[kakashiluver95]

we dont have to use the extra zest of lemon rind right>?

[a1angiem]

RIght! 100% optional! :0)

[Alisha8388]

My boyfriend just made them lol... it smells so good... :) thanx for the recipe

[a1angiem]

They taste even better when the boyfriend makes 'em!

[momof3fabdivas]

marsha

ps: nice to hear your voice again. ;0)

[a1angiem]

Yes...my friend's mum gave me this recipe and I think she made them for years too!  Thanks!

UMMIE

[Maangchi]

I agree! It looks fabulous!

[sunsetsnroses]

Can margarine be used instead of butter?

[a1angiem]

Technically you COULD substitute marg for the butter...but you would miss that buttery shortbread flavour and I wouldn't recommend it...you wouldn't make shortbread with marg so I wouldn't make this with it either...but, your choice.

[sunsetsnroses]

Thank you. It's just that I always use light margarine instead of butter for everything.

[angusMCjamison]

thanks angie. this is a recipe i'm planning to make. question: do you think i could separate the eggs and whisk the egg white so it's fluffier? and since that's extra volume, do you think i could reduce it by one egg? i always try to reduce the eggs and butter in my cakes.

[a1angiem]

I wouldn't...I would make it as is and cut the squares smaller and just have one.

[angusMCjamison]

ok. thanks :) will let you know how it turns out.

[JackWilkins]

Fabulous! A new video from you has made my day! And they look yummy too,of course! :oP

[aishuz]

is that cold butter or softened?

[a1angiem]

Cold...but I did have it sitting on the counter for a tiny while as I got things ready. For shortbread you want to keep it cold but it can be a little difficult to cut into the flour if it's rock hard!

[YanYan2kaii8]

im making it =]

[musicnerdfighter77]

thanks for this recipe!!!!!!!

i've been wanting to make lemon bars for a looong time!
