Martha Martha Martha...

I was curious as to whether my "Shaker-Style Lemon Bars" were on the internet radar, so I googled it. How fun- my web page was there, right under Martha Stewart's "Shaker Lemon Bars".

I actually thought I'd created this recipe, as I'd adapted it from a Shaker Lemon Pie recipe. Apparently, Martha Stewart had had the same idea, But judging from the comments on her website, I suspect my recipe's better. (I'm not partial, ha!)

I noticed she doesn't mention using Meyer Lemons, but I think it's an important detail. I made the recipe both ways, with Meyer and with Eureka Lemons; the Meyer rind is way sweeter and not as tough. It made a big difference. (If you were to use Eureka, I think you'd want to only use slices of one lemon.)

I put less sugar and less butter in my recipe too. Like I said, I'm not partial, but I think mine were perfect!
