MOM'S LEMON BARS
These are the best lemon bars I've ever had. The key to these is the butter/shortening combo in the crust, you must use both, do not substitute one for the other.

Tips:
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Make sure the butter is cold before you start. This will help the crust stay flaky.
- Do not over-mix the dough. Over-mixing will make the crust tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the crust stay firm and prevent it from spreading too much.
- Bake the crust until it is golden brown. This will ensure that the crust is cooked through.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting and serving. This will help the bars stay together and prevent them from falling apart.
