Yummy Lemon Bars

Mmmmm.....I love lemon anything and when you combine it with a yummy buttery crust i thought i was in heaven! Okay so i think i made my bars a little on the thick side but that was because i used a smaller pan. Next time i will use a bigger pan i think the bars taste so much better thinner. And also when making the filling use a wooden spoon or try to incorporate the ingredients together manually with a fork or something because if you get too much air into the filling the top will be all bubbly and burn and make a nasty crust and we don't want that! But definitely give these ones a try if you love lemons!
