Perfect lemon bars from Cook's Illustrated Magazine, May/Jun 1998 (page 21)

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I second mamacrumbcake's note on this lemon bar recipe. These are excellent lemon bars - great tangy lemon flavor, great filling texture, and a buttery, tender crust. [Cross-post for Annual Edition/Magazine/Cook's Ill. Cookbook.]

    Most lemon bars are disappointing. They may look beautiful but they are gummy and pasty with little lemon flavor. This recipe makes the quintessential lemon bar with a vibrant and balanced lemon filling and a tender, buttery crust. I've never seen a recipe that called for more lemon juice (2/3 cup).
