I made this last night, it was good but needed more lemon and less crust! next time I will double the lemon mix. and I added powdered sugar on top.

Very Good!! I added 1 tsp baking powder to the lemon filling mix. Baked at 350 degrees. I also sprinkled powdered sugar on top after they finished baking.

I've never made lemon bars, and this recipe is outstanding. I put it in a jellyroll pan so there were more bars (48 of them!) and they were thinner. Perfect!
