The Best Lemon Squares

I always enjoyed making these at my grandma’s house when I was about 11 years old. She kept the recipe on a note card in a tin box with many other recipes from my great-grandma and other recipes she liked. I spent many hours at her house baking. I hope you enjoy these bars as much as I do.
