Super Easy Lemon Bars

A lemon bar could never be too tangy for me, so I thought, why not a thicker lemon layer? I modified the recipe slightly to try it.

All I did was simply increase the ingredients in the lemon layer by 50% to get even more of that silky lemon layer on top. It worked out very well indeed.

I sampled more than a few myself and then sent the remainder to friends, who raved about them as well. They were just too good to keep to myself.

The other tweak I tried was adding just a little baking powder to the shortbread bottom layer. With the extra weight of the topping, I wanted to be sure the shortbread base would not get soggy.

It worked perfectly and is well worth trying when you make your next batch.
