These lemon bars are the season’s mascot.

How To Make The Best Lemon Bars For the shortbread crust, be sure your butter is chilled to begin with.
Freeze butter just long enough so that it can be easily grated using large-hole grater. This makes it so much easier to form the crust.
Allow the finished lemon bars to fully chill before slicing in. The filling will set completely while it chills.
Lining baking dish with foil that extends beyond the dish will allow for easy removal of the entire dessert onto a cutting board.
