When life hands you lemons, make lemon bars...

My experience...
I came across this recipe while searching for this Chocolate Pudding recipe (which is also flipping amazing, btw). The first thing that caught my attention was the picture, because I could already see that it had the second thing that made me read more: the texture. I really love yummy textures that add to the whole delicious experience, and this looked amazing. The following descriptions completely sold me, I went and got some lemons the next day:

"I love how the shortbread crust is all crisp and crumbly and how the lemon filling separates as it bakes. The top has a thin cake-like crust and underneath the lemon filling is all soft and yummy. ...[t]he shortbread is crisp and the lemon filling is tart and tangy."

They were even better than I expected. It was like a sherbet party explosion in my mouth, for realz. I say sherbet because that's what it felt like, you know that tangy, sharp sort of feeling, like not quite fizzy, but almost? Yeah. Flip, I can't wait to make more. I want to try oranges next time :) Carry on reading if you're thinking of making these. Otherwise, you can stop now.

 

I don't think they'd be everyone's cup of tea, I think you definitely have to be into the whole fruity biscuit vibe to enjoy this. I mention this because I know some people that are very much not into lemony flavours and didn't enjoy it at all. But that was ok, coz there was more for me!

I'd also recommend that you stick to the specified pan size.
NB: Make sure you grease the pan really, really well! I think maybe using greaseproof paper might be a better option. I greased mine well, but then I guess it must have got messed up when I was setting the shortbread.

Here are what mine looked like (without icing sugar). Not much like the pic, but still yummy :)

Thanks to Joy of Baking for such awesome recipes!
The lovely pic in the header is from another recipe for the same thing that I found the other day.

Happy munching! Let me know if you try it :)
