Tart, tangy and oh so sweet

My sister-in-law is a wonderful baker, and she has recently started a blog, The Adventures of a Suburban Amateur Baker, to chronicle her experiences.  Her most recent post was on Lemon Bars, which I had never tried, so of course I was up for a challenge.  Besides, my Mister is rather partial to the Lemon Bars his mom makes.

You can find her recipe here - just look how few ingredients it calls for! 

I'd never zested lemons before. For my first time I used the fine portion of a cheese grater since this was all I had on hand. Can you tell that I'm a little paranoid about zesting? This picture is of the lemon after I grated it... I think I'm leaving too much zest on the lemon...

Then I squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezed. A lot. :)

After mixing the crust, pressing it into the pan and baking it.  I whisked the lemon mixture together and poured into the pan.

I overbaked them by just a few minutes, but overall they were delicious!

At least, half the pan is gone already...and I haven't heard Mister complain...

'til next time.....
