Lemon Squares

I'm on vacation in Destin, Florida. Destin is like my home away from home. We've been coming here for over 15 years. It's comfortable here. Lemon squares just seemed like a florida kind of recipe to make and I have been wanting to try these for a while now. I'm thinking subbing in key lime juice can make killer Key Lime bars. I'll share those when I try that them.
It took less than an hour to make from start to finish but that includes baking time. Actual prep time is less then 10 minutes and I squeezed the lemons.
It requires refrigerator time after baking so plan ahead to give your squares time to chill completely before serving,

Want to know how they tasted? Tart, Lemon tart. Isn't that how lemon squares are supposed to taste? I LOVED them. Everyone here LOVED them. They disappeared fast. Even our gluten eating friends gobbled them down and asked for seconds. I will be making this recipe again very soon....probably this week,

I hope you can try this "taste of Florida" recipe soon. Let me know what you think.
ENJOY!!!
