My review
Ultimate Lemon Bars
Land O'Lakes
"A delicious lemon bar with a flaky buttery crust, in style of a shortbread cookie. A tart lemony filling, with the right amount of sweet and tart. I made this recipe up after years and years of trying to find the perfect lemon bar, and believe this to be the best. I hope you enjoy with your favorite cup of tea or coffee!"

Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- The filling is made with cornstarch, not the typical added flour. Since I use cornstarch with my fresh berry pies, I thought let's give it a try! We have a lemon tree in our back yard so I had plenty of lemons to perfect this recipe. Also with the Land O' Lakes® butter campaign I wanted to make this the best buttery crust!

These were ok. The ratio of crust to lemon filling, IMO is off. I made it in a 7" x 11" pan as called for in the recipe and the crust was as thick as the filling. I also prefer a bar with more ...

I want to say, I made these and three crust was hard as a rock. The next day even harder. I checked and rechecked the cornstarch measure. Won't make these again

It's quick and easy, but tastes too strongly of corn starch. I'll try to adapt the recipe next time.

I used coconut oil in place of butter in crust It gave a nice flavor. The crust was thin, I should have doubled it
