Storing
Store these lemon bars in an air tight container in a single layer. You may need to add more powdered sugar to the top after storing. These bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days. These are the ultimate lemon bar. They burst with lemon flavor and the buttery crust will melt in your mouth. You are going to fall in love with this recipe and get requests to make them over and over. Please note that this recipe calls for lemon juice and lemon zest. You can use both the juice and the zest from the same lemons. For this recipe you will need three lemons total.
Size is the most important thing to pay attention to. They should be between two and three inches. The lemon should feel firm and not squishy.
Lemon zest comes from the lemon peel. Use a lemon zester to get off just the very outer layer of the peel. You should stop before you get to the white.
Freezing
To freeze lemon bars, place them on a parchment paper lined plate or baking sheet. Freeze for 24 hours. Transfer the bars to an airtight container with wax paper between the layers. Freeze for up to 3 months.
