If you close your eyes and imagine the perfect lemon bar, your mind might go to your grandmother’s classic recipe or to a platter of your mom’s famous homemade bars. They’re light enough to follow a hearty home-cooked lunch, yet satisfying enough that the simple recipe feels decadent. They can be served casually out of the pan as a simple dessert or dressed up for a party, cut into triangles, dusted with powdered sugar and served on crystal.Author: Duke's Kitchen
