aileen's lemon bars
(1 rating)
This recipe was given to me about 12 yrs ago by my supervisor in J C Pennys. I make it every week for our church potluck. If I don't bring it, people complain. Many people have requested the recipe but I think they prefer I make it. It is tricky when you cut the bars. They have to be totally cooled and cut carefully with a small knife. The edges of the pan get sticky with the carmelization so you have to practice on cutting them just right. Enjoy!
