Lemon bars are one of my fave treats, so when I was looking for something fast (and summery) to bring to a friend's house the other day, this recipe sprang to mind. It's very similar to a recipe I've posted before, but it has a few differences, so I thought I'd give it a try. These were very good- the crust is tender, tasty and perfect, and the lemon filling has just the right taste and texture, even though I had my oven on the "convection" setting at first and almost burned the top. :( They're not supposed to be that brown! Lol. The taste was still wonderful, despite my mess-up.
Note: The recipe calls for unsalted butter. I only had salted on hand, so I used that, and they were still great. I also used 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour in the crust.
