Suggestions for this Recipe
I not too long ago made this recipe gluten and dairy free for a good friend. I used gluten free flour and a dairy free butter substitute. I did add a bit further butter to the shortbread base – about 15g. Simply because gluten free flour might be extra “thirsty” and require a bit further moisture.
The kind of eggs you employ on this recipe will have an effect on the color of the lemon filling. Customary eggs are completely tremendous and gained’t have an effect on the style however the filling shall be extra of a duller yellow color.
To get a very vivid, nearly orange toned, yellow color then use Burford Brown eggs.
These Lemon Bars are good for a tasty weekend deal with for the household. They’re additionally sensible in case you have company coming as you can also make them upfront and hold within the fridge till you’re prepared so as to add the icing sugar and serve.
Should you attempt them please do come again and let me know within the feedback beneath what you thought!
