Ina’s Lemon Bars
Ina Garten’s recipes are some of my favorite. So while I was figuring out different recipes to make with my Shortbread Crust using my Ted Lasso Biscuit recipe, I had to include a Lemon Bar recipe.
This is a fairly easy recipe. Pre-baking the crust probably takes the most time. There are no special ingredients other than my Gluten Free Flour Blend. I have not tested this recipe with other flour blends, but I imagine the filling would hold up well to another cup for cup type GF flour blend. I cannot be sure about the Shortbread Crust turning out with a different flour blend.
