Pioneer Women Lemon Bar Recipe

Y’all probably don’t know my favorite part of the weekend is watching Pioneer Women on Sunday mornings. I get so many great recipes and I even cried my eyes out when I watched her daughters wedding episode. Today, I’m sharing her Lemon Bar recipe. I LOVE a good lemon bar! As a child I couldn’t eat enough. Over the last few years, I haven’t enjoyed the lemon bars I’ve eaten. I thought maybe my palette changed. I finally realized it has everything to do with the shortbread crust and the lemon filling ratio. I haven’t made them in about 15 years. My Mom also has a great recipe. I realized that the shortbread was too thin and the lemon filling … [Read more...]
