Found your blog through FoodBuzz - love it! Lemon Bars are a favorite of mine, and I've found that this recipeproduces a lemony, tart-like bar.

Lemon squares are one of my all time favourite desserts! I could eat a whole tray in one sitting!

Yummy! I don't think I've ever met a lemon bar I didn't like. Funny, I own that Mark Bittman book but I always forget about it (or it's too heavy to lug out of the bookshelf)

Monique has a similar lemon tart squares recipe handed down from the family a couple generations and she makes them better than me every time! They look just like those in your recipe.

I've never had a lemon square - I know, it's hard to believe, but I will definitely give these a whirl!

Nice recipe. Will surely try. Can the whole wheat pastry flour be replaced with normal whole wheat flour as we do not get the pastry flour here.

I'm not really a lemon person but these definitely look delicious. I'm glad you posted it because there are a lot of good foods out there that may be particularly your (or my) kind of taste. The plate speaks for itself.

Hi Memoria,

We've changed our methodology a bit. We do consider all purpose flour to be a staple, but it doesn't seem right to not "count" it when we're using a good bit of it in a recipe.. If this recipe had called only for a tbsp of AP flour, we would have just marked it "staple"; similarly, if the recipe had called for 4 cups of confectioner's sugar, we would have included that in the cost analysis. Make sense?

2009-06-09T09:35:53.544-04:00

LOVE lemon squares.
I also think it's great to blog about things that didn't turn out quite as you expected. Keeps everything real. :) That said, it's nice when a recipe you don't love turns out to appeal to the masses anyhow!

Wow .... Lovely recipe . Looks yummy .

I'm with you on lemon tart-type lemon bars. I have a great lower fat recipe from Alice Medrich that uses cornmeal in the cookie crust. Nice pics and always fun to share with friends!

2009-06-08T23:33:43.177-04:00

It's funny that you consider confectioner's sugar a staple, but not AP flour. :)

I saw your lemon bars on foodgawker and the brown color of it intrigued me. I think it's interesting that you added whole wheat pastry flour. Cool!

I so agree with your assessment of the recipe. I'm a lemon girl myself, and really want them tart and lemony. *But* I applaud you in your post and description! I really like the way you described the results and the reviews. So often in cooking I find myself expecting some outcome and being disappointed in the results. Even if the result was also excellent, just not what I'd imagined.

Great post an ingredient near and dear to my heart. I adore lemon and often it is hard to find a recipe that really brings out that flavor.
Have bookmarked this recipe for future reference.
Thanks for posting.

2009-06-08T18:54:48.488-04:00

I love this blog! My roommate has a family recipe for the type of bars I think you are looking for, crisp crust and soft gellike filling with lots of powedered sugar, one of her secrets is using Meyer lemons they are amazing!
For some reason my computer keeps crashing the internet whenever I try to leave your site, maybe it is just IE?
