Lemon Bars

by:




Classic lemon bars are made by pressing extra buttery sweet dough into a baking dish, baking it, and, after cooling, spreading lemon curd over it. Most lemon curd is made with whole butter - regular butter thats just added as is. This recipe uses brown butterfor a more pronounced butter flavor and a stiffer curd, but whole butter works fine, too.
