[@gkdarkwah]

I just tried this recipe. Awesome! A few lessons I learned: 1. Don’t let the crust cool before pouring the filling. Otherwise the filling will sink to the bottom. 2. Don’t overbake the crust. This can lead to dry, less dense crust so then the crust will float.

[@Romans8-9]

I feel like the filling is way too soft and runny, it needs to be harder.

[@ritamcfadden4998]

Hi John from GERMANY. OMG now I realize what happened to my lemon bars! I baked the shortbread and it was a bit brown on the edges like in the video. However I set it aside for a bit, cause it was piping hot and thought it needs to cool more and stuck it in the fridge for a few minutes. Finished the lemon filling, poured it on top and baked it. It was too late at night to eat it and so stuck the finished product in the fridge and this morning took it out. SURPRISE, the layers changed their position..the shortbread was on top and the yummy filling on the bottom. Lesson learned. Add lemon mix while shortbread is still hot. 😂😮

Hello Preppy Kitchen from Vietnam! I would like to express my gratefullness to you and your cooking&baking videos, and of course your great efforts making bakings become easy to understand and follow! I first was a person who knew nothing at all about baking, and now I have a small business selling cakes made by myself, following your recipes! One day surfing youtube and got interested in your strawberry cupcakes video, I decided to try to follow and my kids loved the taste of it! I started to be inspired by baking since then! I always think how thankful I am to you who has been inspiring my hobby now as baking which brings me some profit I make everyday from selling cakes. Especially, I've learned even more the value of the money as baking is fun but always a hard job too! I baked a tray of lemon bar today and it received tons of great comments on the nice flavour! I am so happy that I decided to write some words here to thank you! I hope my poor English can be understood and please forgive me if there is any mistakes! Good luck to you and your beautiful family, and hope to see more videos of you bakibg on youtube! ❤

I made these lemon bars. They are amazing. I wanted to share a hiccup I had. I cooked according to recipe and all the set times during the refrigerator set time I realized they weren’t going to set. I left them in the refrigerator got up the next morning took them out to bring to room temperature tented the sides with foil preheat my oven to directions temp and in they went for another bake, they are in the cooling process and are going to be delicious! Just wanted to share incase it happens to anyone else. This is my forever recipe! 👏🏻🙂 Thank you

[@Utilitarian101]

Just made this recipe today - he's not lying when he says they're like drops of sunshine in bar form. I have tasted many lemon-flavoured treats in my time, but these were the tangiest, zingiest, lemoniest bars I have ever tasted - made all the better by the fact that I made them myself in my own home. Get ready for a lemon explosion in your mouth upon tasting! Thank you John 😎👍🏻

Hello John! I recently came across your channel and I LOVE it! I am not a home cook nor have a wide repertoire but your recipes and instructions are nice and easy to follow, plus your personality is infectious. I made your lemon bars last night and they were delicious! I don't have your cutting skills so they were not pretty or even but my neighbor was thankfully unconcerned. I did use almond flour for the crust and curd - my neighbor requires gluten-free. Per suggestion I added an additional 1/4 cup per cup of flour. The crust was nice and crispy and though the curd wasn't a sunshiney yellow, powdered sugar hid that very well. Yumola! Thank you so much! Hope to make the MIllionaire Shortbread next. Have a fantastic weekend with your family!

Please let the person who “corrected” you on your usage of the word scale that this is the 21st century.

I made them the day before the party, so the shortbread crust got a little soft from the moisture of the lemon curd. Didn't affect the flavor of course, just the shortbread texture.

I have a ton of lemon juice frozen from lemons I picked off my lemon tree ... had more than I could possibly use and that was AFTER giving bunches away to half a dozen neighbors (filled a 5 gallon bucket in one day- it was a good year!). I will def be making this and binging on the rest of your lemon recipes! 😊💖

[@carolesaldanha8806]

Love your lemon recipes so very much. Will surely give it a try. Thanks for making it so simple. The end result looks sumptuous!

[@ChandraAndersonPinion]

I absolutely adore you! Your cooking videos should be a staple in EVERY kitchen! You have a great sense of humor, patience and are always so descriptive about everything you are doing! Great job!

I just luv watching u Bake. Everytime I discover u have a new recipe, I am just craving Sweets to the 10th Degree. But ur personality though, just Marvelous. I have not had Lemon Bars since I was a child, and now I am Ancient, and still crave them. Thank u John, great job.

Thank you so much for converting everything into the metric system! ~95% of the world's population use it, after all :)

[@martijnspruit]

I still do not understand how one can work with pastry and use cups and spoons for measurement.

[@spoonwithsander]

I don't rap, but I'm sure up for dropping these kind of bars. Looks delicious!

Lol...funny🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Thank you AGAIN for saving me! Whenever my family requests a specific dessert for Sunday dinner, you reliably have already accomplished the video recipe 💕 My husband, the LemonAsaurusRex, has requested Lemon Bars; I’ll likely make your your Blueberry muffins too & send home with my son. Thanks for helping me to make our family time together tasty!

My sister wanted lemon bars for her birthday and it was a new dessert for me. Made these how you did and they turned out fantastic! Also love your energy and positivity! Now I am a new subscriber :)

Oh the glorious lemon ! When I was little, Mom would give us each a quarter. We would walk down to the local grocery.. to buy a treat. My brother and sister would buy candy ( of course... what else would a kid do with a quarter ) Not me, I would buy a couple of lemons .. bring them home .. slice them up. Then it was me, my lemons and a shaker of salt. THIS was my TREAT ! Lemon-aholic .. ? yes .. ! To this day lemon flavor rules ! I SO want to make these !!

[@sharonolsen6579]

@Supr Eme I like to shake some salt on the lemon before eating it .. : )

[@helenaabdul-alim2089]

Isnt is salty enough already

[@aneshka4114]

More sour than salty

[@sharonolsen6579]

@@helenaabdul-alim2089 the salt sort of mellows the acidity a bit .. enhances lemon flavor .. :)

[@denagustafson6070]

That’s hysterical!

[@nicoleorton5299]

Because of you, the rest of my life will be better! Thank you with all my heart!

[@smahmood4642]

I made these again, they’re so delicious. I should write down the recipe, but I love watching the video. Thank you!

[@justgoodfood]

[@thegourmetgrandadandfamily]

You had better !!

I love this guy. You can tell he genuinely loves being a pastry chef

[@wolfknight7779]

Hello John I've been following your channels for years and my family and I love your recipes. I was wondering if the taste will differ is I were to bake this in a glass bakeware compared to a metal one just as you shown in the video?

[@wolfknight7779]

Also, what can I substitute a food processor with? Would a blender work or a hand mixer?

[@your.flower.girl.]

Two weeks late, but yes, a glass conditioner should be fine, and you can use a blender instead of a food processor

[@wolfknight7779]

@@your.flower.girl. Thank you for the information. Have a wonderful day

[@SuouEtsumi]

I made these with limes and it turned out great! Delicious, but very sweet. I cut them much smaller, more like one inch cubes of sunshine :) Might reduce the sugar next time, but I wonder if they will still set.

[@joonic3446]

Did you ever try cutting the sugar down? I made them the other day and I do like them. I added lime juice as well which was nice. Want to make sure how much sugar I can get and get away with T_T

[@jessiemccarron8688]

Made these yesterday for a charity sale at my hospital...where i work... OMG.. GORGEOUS..! They all went within 10 minutes...! I love your recipes...and you are so funny...in a good way..!👍😊

[@themadisonjt9108]

[@themeister]
