Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh lemons, unsalted butter, and gluten-free flour will yield the best results.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough.
  • Bake the bars until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will prevent them from crumbling.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

These easy gluten-free lemon bars are a delicious and refreshing treat that can be enjoyed by people of all dietary restrictions. They are perfect for potlucks, parties, or simply as a snack.
