How to Remove: Ensure they are cooled completely, then go around the edge with a knife to loosen the crust from the sides of the pan before cutting it into squares.
Lemon Freshness: Always use fresh lemons, and opt for Meyer lemons when they are in season!
Pan Size: Use an 8x8 or 9x9 pan to make these bars. A metal pan works best, but a glass pan will also work. Just keep in mind that the baking time may vary slightly.
