Dreamy Lemon Squares
Hello everyone! How are you all doing? With the start of fall I wanted to hold on to the last bit of summer that I can. Thats when I got the idea to create a lemon themed dish.
Lemons are a staple in cooking. You don’t need a lot to go a long way. This makes for inexpensive, very tasty, ingredient. Lemons also make for a great alternative if you don’t want a very sweet treat, as they are more on the sour side.
These lemon bars make for great grab-and-go treats as they are the right size to hold in your hand. They have a great gooey filling that melts in your mouth and a great cheesecake-like crust that will make you sing.
Now I do want to be honest with you, and tell you whenever something goes wrong in my recipe to help prevent the same mistake from happening to you. When I had take the squares out of the oven my crust had sticker to the bottom of the pan. I believe that this was an issue with my appliance, as the pan I was using has done that to me now a few times.To avoid this problem I suggest adding plenty of non-stick cooking spray to the pan before you use it. I also suggest using a pan that you know is reliable and doesn’t normally cause that problem.
Besides the issue that I had with my pan, these treats were so good. They were very delicate and would make for the perfect treat for a bridal or baby shower. The bite-size aspect of them also make for the perfect picnic, lemonade stand, or bake sale treat.
I hope you all enjoy. Remember to tag me in your photos on social media and I’ll repost them! Thank you for all of your continued support. See you next time! Enjoy!
