French Lemon Squares

Piece of cake! I think, the only thing I did not have on hand was the eggs! Easter robbed me of them all. I think mine could have cooked a little more however I was afraid to burn the tops. So out they came out after the 20 min. My only question, what is the significance to mixing for 10 minutes? Hope you all enjoyed them. Sorry for the short post however I am going back for a little lemon treat. Happy Easter. A

  3. I love the softness of this one, good call on the 20 minutes. I've been looking for a good Lemon Bar recipe, finally found the perfect one!

  4. Angie, your cookies look good. As far as the 10 minute beating goes, I think it's because it incorporates more air and makes the filling thicker and more lemon colored. I've thought about beating for less time, but would have been too disappointed if they didn't come out as well.

    20 minutes was a good baking time. It creates less of a meringue top and a softer filling. Longer baking will make it more brown and the filling less creamy. If you reduce the flour to 1 TBS. in the filling, you will get a more sticky lemon bar and hardly no meringue crust. Either way, they're good. Another good job. Theresa G.

  5. They sure did look delicious...and the ants looked like they enjoyed them! I figured out why so many ants got into them-that's where the margarita bucket was sitting the other night and there was quite a bit of it spilled onto the concrete. Those drunk ants had the munchies!
