I love lemon bars so much 🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋💛
This video is joyful 💖 Thanks for the yummi recipe and for the joy 🙏🙏🙏
Very nice
You are my human cook book thank you I will be making these 😉
Can you use an electric hand mixer? I don't have one of those mixers.
I love everyone of your recipes you are amazing… these look so yummy
I tried to make it but the Lemon mix went thru the bottom and I had no cake on the bottom. What did I do wrong? Did I overcook the shortbread?The flavors were there.
I tried this today and it was a hit !!💛 I ran out of flour for the lemon filling mixture so I mixed it with a few tbsps of cornflour and it still turned out great! ✨
Thank you for sharing ! ! I have Meyer lemons , how much of sugar you suggest for this recipe?thanks again!
No Vanilla?
Hi , I love this ! looks so yummy! I was wondering if you know the measurement of the cake pan?
14:28 SA time Thankyou for your recipe 🎉 lovely!you're a 🌟 I just luv it ,you driving me nuts when biting into that lemon bar ❤Lamberts bay west coast SA 🦐🐬🐳💕
Definitely will try these – been craving lemony dessert
Oh well, we’ll see how it turns out. I tried to take your recipe and make it more keto friendly. The almond flour doesn’t work like regular flour, and my crust came out soft, even with 10 minutes more of cooking! I poured the the custard onto it but it went through the crust! I think I’m going to end up with lemon cobbler!! LOL 😂
I made your lemon squares and they were phenomenal! I want to make them again tonight but I forgot to soften my butter and I’m on a time frame and I’m having trouble finding that video on your channel.😬
I will be baking these for a birthday party in about 10 days, but I want to make ahead and freeze. Should I cut before or after freezing? Looks wonderful!
Hi Natasha! Is it alright if I use a hand mixer instead? I would like to make this recipe but I don't have a stand mixer😅☺️
How did u learn all these kinds of food u r so smart God bless u with your family
I just made these and they are absolutely delicious. I did, however, have a possible problem. The bars came out very soft, to the point of turning to mush if you tried to hold them in your hand. The lemon layer seemed to be too soft.
Should I: A) Use more flour B) Use les lemon juice C) Bake longer D) Eat with a fork E) ???
The center was fully set before I removed from the oven, so I am not sure what I did wrong. These are the first every lemon bars that I have made.
Thanks for the great recipe and channel.
Irresistible.
I decided to make these on a whim. Found a random recipe online and they were AMAZING. The crust especially. I have tried to recreate it many times but it was never the same. Hoping your recipe ticks all the boxes 😁
The recipe shown under “ …more” calls for 1 cup of lemon juice TWICE. I watched the video and printed out the recipe from your website but others might not. Probably should fix it.
These were amazing and went over well with everyone I shared them with. I think I found my new go-to recipe for lemon Bars! Thanks.
If you don't have a dough mixer how would I mix the dough
Can I get this recpie for 4 eggs please I need it's recpie of flour and suger amount.
I’ve made these lemon squares three times and they’re absolutely phenomenal but I find it difficult to remove the parchment paper from the sides I always end up ripping the paper and bits of it adhere to the lemon squares. Am I cooling them in the refrigerator for too long or not waiting for them to get to room temperature afterwards enough🤷🏻♀️
I love lemon bars. This sure beats box mix!!❤
Way tooooo sweet. I used 20% less sugar, but it is still too much.
I tried this with 2 cups of sugar and it was way sweet enough. Three would've been overkill.
I madeee themmmm
Soooooo amazing!! I love these lemon bars.
Hi Natasha, I would like to make your lemon bars but could you tell me how big is your cup? I mean how much flour i should use in a grams ?
Le titre est en français mais dans la vidéo, il y à aucune traduction en français. Résultat, je ne comprends rien du tout et rien que pour ça, je ne like pas votre vidéo trompeuse 👎👎👎👎👎
These are great lemon bars! The first time I made them was when I wanted to make a homemade cherry pie for the first time too, so I made both of them! And the funny thing was, my dad is the cherry lover of my family and he said he liked the lemon bars more!❤😂
Спасибо❤❤❤
I love how you started by saying you learned the recipe from Ian Garten !!! I love Ina Garten recipes and her chocolate cake is my fav !! I made this lemon bars three times now and everyone love it !! Thanks 🙏🏽
It's really really mouthwatering ❤😋🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Why not use your stand mixer for the filling?
