I've never had a lemon bar, but whenever I've seen a picture

Not being a baker, the recipe looked pretty foolproof for me, and
there was a video to really seal the deal.

I saw that recipe and cut out the page. It did sound good.

When I was a kid the bakery made lemon squares with a flaky, delicate
top and bottom crust and a filling like lemon meringue pie.
They were delicious and I don't remember them being as sweet
as lemon bars.

The lemon layer calls for 3/4 cup of sugar, I wonder if the amount
could be reduced with no bad effects.
