Who had these bars growing up? I had never seen them till we came to the US! 🍋

[@rafiathabassum4671]

These are similar to Indian Mysore Paak 😋😋

[@reneehorn5257]

Donal Skehan raised in France, wonderful pastries but no lemon bars. First tasted in the US

[@Indianfood-k7f]

😋😋😋😋😋😋😍

[@kathyerickson9402]

Love lemon bars and these look delicious! Looking forward to the new season and the new shows...and playing a new drinking game called "At this point...", where we all take a shot of Irish whiskey whenever you say "At this point..." Ha ha!

[@russbear31]

I'm an American, so I grew up eating lemon bars. They're one of my favorites because I love lemon. But it's bizarre that you added coconut to the shortbread crust. That's not authentic.

[@ausfird]

"A little touch of water" - pour one jug of water 🤣

[@eva9996]

Before you make these here's a couple things to watch out for: the recipe on the website is INCOMPLETE. Some of the ingredients used in the video aren't even in the recipe (lemon zest, salt). The method for making the lemon curd is extremely vague and leaves out some important details, the order is all wrong compared to the video. The amount of sugar in both the curd and base are overwhelming. Don't be afraid to cut down on it by a quarter or more. The end result was very rich but with sugar amount adjustments also quite nice! TLDR: there is nothing more annoying that having to rewatch video over and over again while baking because written down recipe is completely unreliable.

[@caramelkisses8396]

This is so wrong to watch during quarantine because I LOVE lemon everything and I for sure have a sweet tooth!! Thank you for sharing.

[@MolyBDenum-lh3wy]

Awww man..I really want those edges!!! 🥺😋😳

[@donalskehan]

I ate them sorry!

Lol saaaame I’m like DONT THROW THOSE AWAY I’LL EAT EM LOL

[@justaddmusclecom]

I love lemon desserts, this looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@justinm2697]

I know a good recipe for a similar slice but it's not healthy. It's a baked base, using flour and almond meal which changes the texture of the base.....then a mix of condensed milk with lemon juice and gelatin....let that set....then lemon flavoured jelly crystals mixed with gelatin as the last layer. I'm not a sweet tooth at all and I can eat this, though not a lot. It's so refreshing though.

[@BeastieBoyGage]

Yum. Looks really good. I've made Lemon bars before, but yours are a little different. Definitely want to try them.

[@donalskehan]

Nice one! Let me know how you get on

[@alanouds9257]

Thank you so much!

[@lorenahalip9360]

Who else noticed the curd was slightly burned ? When he was getting it out of the pan😄

[@huggledemon32]

Me too- I mean he did say it has a tendency to catch on the bottom- at least we k ow it happens to all of us!🤷‍♀️😏

[@leouua]

did it taste burnt though?

[@christersletvold]

Hello! This looks amazeing! 😍🤤I'm not so fond of coconut, so I'm wondering if it is ok to drop it altogether, or must it be replaced with something else? 🤔

[@donalskehan]

Just drop it completely!

[@iainronald4217]

Haha, the effects of parenthood, eh? Donal’s glossy chocolate brown hair has started graying and he’s now got a shadow under his chin. That’s all good though, they’re the signs of a good father who’s so worried about their child’s wellbeing they’re stressing themselves to the extreme lol.

[@donalskehan]

yes there's a lot of juggling going on! Hence the grey hair!

[@FireCracker3240]

There is little better in the summer than a luscious lemon bar. Except, of course, if you top it with meringue and make lemon meringue bars! 😋

[@dawn7011utube]

Brilliant recipe ! I will it at home for iftar in Ramadan 💖

[@paulinalobato3133]

Donal are you trying to make me fat....

[@donalskehan]

is it working?!

[@brendaspamperedkitchen9878]

Lemon bars are the dessert you see at bridal showers or that "go to" dessert to take to a family party. My favorite💖

[@mariadasilva4379]

Muy riquísimo me encanta mucho

[@JohnTwo1]

Yes tamp is a word, you tamp an espresso grounds into a gasket for example.

[@drankclaw2095]

The directions for the lemon curd in this video and in the ingredient page are entirely different. The order you put them in, how much each thing is cooked, etc. is completely different. I have no idea which to follow tbh.

[@ammuparvathy8471]

Your Millionaire's shortbread is my favourite!! Can't wait to try this!!🍋

[@Warpstoned]

I wish we could stop calling every other recipe the "best", "ultimate", "perfect" and so on. Its not a very helpful descriptor anymore - its almost a meme at this point ^^;

[@donalskehan]

Warpstoned if KZbin’s algorithm wouldn’t push creators to use them we wouldn’t but here we are!

[@jncchang176]

Warpstoned Also, I think it's fair to say, it's HIS "best", "ultimate", "perfect" recipes. Tyler Florence did that on Food Network. And it wasn't always the BEST recipe of all time.

[@TTimeConscious]

I'm making lemon bars today, thank to you! Grateful for your channel... Much love and blessings

How do u wait for 2 hours after making such a lovely thing???😜😜😜

We dont have anything related to coconuts in our country is it okay not to use it?

very tempting.... will follow your recipe and be happy hahahaha.

and how about my recipe? go to my channel and please give me feedback

[@saumyaashukla6609]

Can't we make it without the egg yolks??

[@hellowjp]

Corn flour or corn starch? They are two different things. What you used is obviously corn starch

[@MomoChanhs]

"Corn flour" is the official name in British English. He's not American...

[@contentart5169]

Yummy 😋

[@unmeshpatel3560]

I love this! Amazing! But where do you stay bro? Because I want to meet you? I want to meet you because your all recpies are amazing! Please tell me. ☺☺☺

I will try it for iftar in Ramadan. ❤❤❤

[@zahrahussain6008]

That's what I'm doing 😂

[@zahrahussain6008]

@@sadypack the curd turned out great, but if your in a hot climate it's gonna be a bit taxing on your patience, especially while fasting😅. I wasn't successful with short bread tho. I substituted the butter with ghee. It was delicious but not how it turned out in the video. Do not try it with oil! Does not work.

[@zahrahussain6008]

Hehe no problemo😁

[@vinalves]

Lemons are not easy to find in Brazil. So, do you think it is a good idea to use lime? Hum!!! Maybe I will do a caipirinha lime bar!

[@donalskehan]

Now that sounds like a genius idea! You could totally use the same method too!

[@ad-zx4iv]

perfect for summer! Thanks Donal!

[@ilyrox4031]

Is corn flour corn starch

[@donalskehan]

yes same thing!

[@jaiyamutharasu635]

Hi Donal! I love your videos and I knew I had to try this out today. But I had a slight issue with the lemon curd :( Everything was going good until I added the flour in at the end and it just got clumpy with the flour bits. I am not sure why but I tried to sieve the curd out to salvage it. I baked it but the the flour bits were still visible when it got out of the oven.

[@MomoChanhs]

Not Donal, but you probably should mix the dry ingredients together first and slowly add in the liquid ingredients while stirring continuously (and gently). Some people prefer to sift their flour (especially if it's not newly opened) into liquid mixture, and it seems to have less issue with flour clumps.

[@jaiyamutharasu635]

Momo Hi, thank you for your comment and feedback. Will definitely take it into consideration the next time I make it 😊 Have a great day!

[@SheryllQuesta]

I LOVE the idea of adding a bit of coconut to the crust layer! I absolutely love lemon bars. I even made a video making Dutch Blueberry Lemon Bars. I'd love for you to check it out! Awesome video!😀😀

[@LEFTCOASTTERI]

.....off to the grocery store for lemons I go!

[@kelsey2738]

Loooove lemon bars! I grew up eating them all the time after school. (Also, love this more old-school Donal style video!) 😍♥️

The cornflour in the video looks like cornstarch. Should I be using actual cornflour or cornstarch. I'm in the US so I'm not sure if the names are different

Thank you for this, can I do this recipe without the cocunut? Will I have to do more flour?

[@lynaiahb2167]

sofi0710 I’m wondering the same thing!! Is it optional??

[@russbear31]

I'm an American who has been eating and making these lemon bars for more than 50 years. I've never seen a recipe for lemon bars that contains coconut except Donal's. It's not authentic. Yes, you can leave the coconut out of it. In fact, in the US we make something like a simple Scottish shortbread for the crust (flour, salt, sugar, and butter). No coconut at all.

[@margaretschuering622]

Lemon bars were a staple at our school bake sales. Loved them growing up!

[@ash072]

I tried the recipe and they came out ok. It lacked the punch of lemon I usually expect from lemon bars. I noticed the recipe that while adding salt is mentioned in the method, it is not listed as an ingredient. I admittedly forwent this step because I didn't want to add too much. I'm assuming it was a pinch of salt. The curd came out very nice but I wonder whether the amount of corn flour (corn starch in the US) and flour in the curd may have hidden the lemon flavor a bit.

[@danedine1428]

It's like an Indian sweet stuff

[@eemiacs5618]

It seems like the website for the written recipe has a problem... When I click on the link in the description the website doesn't appear, instead there is juste the phrase "Error establishing a database connection"... I don't know if I'm the only one, but I really want to try this recipe, so can someone help me know the measurments ?
