For a more intense lemon flavor, add the zest of one lemon to the filling. Ensure the butter is softened, but not melted, for the best crust texture. Allow the lemon bars to cool completely before cutting to prevent the filling from running. Store leftover lemon bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Feb 22, 2023The crust was a little crumbly for me, so next time I'll try chilling the dough before pressing it into the pan.
