Lemon Bars

If you’ve been around here for any length of time, you already know my ministering secret: it’s dessert. Every time. 😂

These lemon bars are one of my tried-and-true favorites. The recipe lives on an old handwritten card, and it has been made more times than I can count. Buttery crust, bright lemon filling, and a dusting of powdered sugar on top — they disappear fast everywhere I take them.

Take a pan to your ministering sisters, show up with them at the next ward activity, or just make them on a Tuesday because your family deserves a treat. If you try them, come back and tell me how they turned out — I love knowing a recipe from my kitchen made it into yours!
