I Baked 192 Lemon Bars to Create the Perfect Recipe | Bon Appétit



Kendra Vaculin spent days in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen making tray after tray of lemon bars to develop her perfect recipe. Watch as she experiments with every variable to arrive at the ultimate lemon bar—from the ideal crust to the perfect consistency—before publishing it for Bon Appétit.

    Thanks for wasting everyone's time 25 minutes down the drain and then you want everybody to pay for a recipe that there's thousands and thousands available for free.

    I wasn't wondering how she got this job until she said "everyone's gonna think how did she get this job" and now i can't STOP thinking it

    If its not Land O Lakes Lemon Butter Bars, I don’t want it. They’ve had the perfect, easy lemon bar recipe for 50 years. You don’t have to pre-cook the filling and they come out great every time.

    Zaynab would’ve been prepared with research, a plan, and knowledge of food processes…just sayin! This was a major miss FOR ME PERSONALLY

    The last time I made lemon bars, I decided to halve the sugar because I thought the amont was ridiculous. Yeah, that was a bad idea. The lemon bars turned out so tart, it made people's teeth ache. 😂

    I can smell the faint smell of 9 to 5 office coffee in the sound engineering of this video. It's giving "no complaints".

    LOVE the failures; I feel like that's what made watching the whole video worthwhile. Very excited to try the final recipe.

    MORE OF THIS. Kendra is fun to watch and I really miss this sort of recipe development content. Also love that Cheis Morocco dropped in.
