The Ultimate Lemon Bar Recipe (NY Times vs Martha Stewart)

It's nearly the summer season which means it's time to indulge in some sweet lemon bars! When it comes to this classic dessert, there are a number of recipes so I decided to put two to the test. Let's see how NY Times' Sea Salt and Olive Oil Lemon Bars fare against Martha Stewart's Creamy Lemon Squares.

Haha I felt like The NY Times one looked better “right off the bat” actually 😂

[@SugarCrystalKitchen]

definitely agree LOL

[@summersinanan5739]

Yeah when I saw vid I said this out loud “ Martha Stuart’s lemon bars loom wAcK “😂

[@shiriisy]

love these comparison vids! i’m usually super indecisive which recipe to go for 🥺

[@eatsbyrachel]

Glad I could be helpful! :)

[@zoeunlimited]

When both look AMAZING (probably bc you’re just good at baking!!💛😍

[@gracec9864]

I love the bright yellow of the NYT recipe! The olive oil and flaky sea salt sound SO GOOD! Will definitely be testing those in future citrus pie recipes.

[@eatsbyrachel]

Yes! I would definitely recommend trying out the NYT recipe and let me know how it goes!

[@SugarCrystalKitchen]

I love these comparison videos Rachel!! You should try out brulee lemon bars too! I think you'd love them :)

[@miss_m_yt]

Great video! You did such a good job explaining both recipes.

[@eatsbyrachel]

aw thanks so much!

[@bakeit9596]

They look amazing 👍👍👍👍

[@nicolecooper9840]

thanks for the great video

[@mollywolly4201]

Great video! Oddly enough I just made the NYT lemon bars TODAY - and then found this video right off the bat. I must say that they are fabulous, beyond...and for me it was precisely the addition of the olive oil and the sea salt. I simply can’t imagine a crust made solely of butter and sugar - and doubt that I’ll give it a try. I had to laugh when, as you remarked on the color of the MS bars, you said “sort of like they added milk to it...???” Well, they did! Anyway thanks again. Just subscribed

[@eatsbyrachel]

Aw thanks so much for the thoughtful response! And right? the olive oil and sea salt really took the lemon bars over the edge

[@apfelstrudel714]

For the traditional lemon bar, it’s the Betty Crocker recipe first published in a cookbook in the 1960s

[@AliceTan29]

Both recipes look good! But that yellow color from the NY Times recipes had me sold, I actually like the appearance 😂

[@meenakaur100]

I made the Martha Stewart ones today and they were a brighter yellow than the ones in this video. Sort of creamier than a normal lemon bar. Yummy recipes

[@janepowers6711]

Good job! Loved comparing the recipes & as a plus, you are completely charming.

[@eatsbyrachel]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@SuFFo]

Love the comparison videos! Still waiting on your baking tiktok! 😂

[@eatsbyrachel]

My go to Lemon Bar recipe is Ina Garten's recipe. Simple fresh lemon taste. Give it a try.

[@alicynanderson9200]

Can you use the Martha Stewart crust and The NY Times filling? I’m gonna be making that this week!

[@natalied989]

Bro. Martha's crust is not just butter and sugar lol. It's the exact same as NYT. Butter, sugar, salt, flour.
