These lemon bars were really scrumptious, with a slightly crunchy crust and a soft lemony top. I omitted the confectioner's sugar, but dusted the top with finely chopped toasted walnuts when it came out of the oven. I made them for a friend who came over for an evening of stamping and she happily took a plateful home to her family. I did keep a couple of bars for my self though! This was easy to make, which is a real bonus. Thank you again Evelyn.1Reply
