Lemon Bars

These are our favorite lemon bars. There is plenty of lemon flavor and the filling layer is nice and thick. Really delicious and they freeze well too(without the confectioners sugar on top because that might turn sticky). Experience has shown me that I may need as much as 6-7 lemons for 1 cup lemon juice as needed in the recipe-so I now have a note next to the recipe to have 8 lemons in the house, just to be safe, before I begin. Grate the 2 Tablespoons of lemon zest before you juice the lemons. Some people may prefer to use organic lemons, since you will be using the zest (peel) too. I have also written a note to myself not to make these bars unless I will be in the house for 2 hours or so-actual work time is about 1 hour with zesting the lemons etc but then there is baking time too!
