Here are the details of how "lemon bar Sunday" went down.
First there was some gathering.
Followed by some pressing down. I have been wanting to see if using these clips to hold parchment paper worked as good as Martha says they do. They DO!
Then some slicing and seeding.
Which led to pulsing.
I could show you pouring and baking but lets just skip right to removing from the oven.
Cooling. Sprinkling, Cutting.
Devouring.
You know how there are some recipes that are so good you never, ever, look for a new version because you know it can't be topped? Smitten Kitchen's whole lemon bars is one of those. They are flat out GOOD. Crispy bottom. Tart filling. Simple and perfect.
OMG, Carol! Drooling here in SoCal! ♥

I love the clip idea to hold down the parchment - I'm going to try that next time! And the bars look so yummy.

Those are amazing, aren't they? Now go try her Magic Apple Plum Cobbler. I just made it with apricots and nectarines and it's fabilous!

I just printed the recipe & I look forward to making these. Also, thank you for the ‘binder clips’ idea; I’ll have to try these too.

I have made4 or 5 versions of lemon bars and none turn out the way I hoped - you know, the way the perfect bars always melt lemony in your mouth at just the right consistency and speed. I am eager to try these; I'll let you know. I have learned to trust your judgement about such things, more than once, and am sorry I never told you so before!
