I really wasn't too happy with this recipe. the crust is overly sweet. (and i like sweet) I did however use a 9in round pan, don't know if that's what made a big difference. they didn't look at all like the pic above. was a very thin layer inside and wasn't very lemony at all. wasn't bad, but you could really add a lot more lemon and maybe try a different crust.

Lemon Bars are my absoulute favorite food of all time, so when I made this recipe I thought It'd better be good- AND IT WAS. The crust was so flaky and buttery and the tart and sweet lemons really woke me up. Great, great, GREAT recipe.
