The eternal appeal of lemon bars comes down to contrast: a buttery shortbread base beneath a bright, tangy citrus filling made from the juice of two real lemons. As they bake, the top sets into a delicate custard that firms up beautifully once cooled, ready for a dusting of powdered sugar. Sweet, tart, and irresistible, they vanish from any dessert tray in record time.
