Recipes FAQ

Can I use bottled lemon juice?

While you can use bottled lemon juice, it's not recommended. Freshly squeezed lemon juice has a brighter, more vibrant flavor that bottled juice can't replicate.

Can I make these bars ahead of time?

Yes! Lemon bars can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Recipe Tips

  • When measuring flour, be sure to spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife. This will ensure you don't use too much flour, which can result in a dry crust.
  • If you don't have an 8x8 inch baking dish, you can use a 9x9 inch dish instead. Just be aware that your bars may be slightly thinner.
  • When dusting the bars with powdered sugar, be sure they are completely cooled. If the bars are still warm, the powdered sugar will melt and become sticky.
