I had the pleasure of sampling these lemon squares over the years, when my friend Sylvia would bring them to our potluck committee meetings.
Sylvia’s Lemon Squares have just the right tartness contrasted by sweetness to produce a perfect lemon square.
The only problem is that when my family cuts them, they usually look like large rectangles instead of squares….very yummy.
