Tips & Techniques

  • Did You Know...

    Grate only the yellow portion of the lemon; the white portion, or pith, is very bitter.

  • Substitution

    Rise to the occasion! Self-rising flour can be used in this recipe.

  • Success

    To ensure recipe success, do not use vegetable oil spreads.

  • How-To

    For a bright lemon color, add 4 to 6 drops of yellow food color with the eggs and sugar mixture.

  • Purchasing

    One medium lemon should give you just enough peel and juice to make these refreshing bar cookies.

  • Variation

    Make Lemon-Coconut Squares: Stir 1/2 cup flaked coconut into egg mixture in step 2.

  • 1  cup Gold Medal® all-purpose flour

These just came out of the oven. The top is really brown, never had that happen with lemon bars. Hopefully, they taste good.
