Sugar-dusted Lemon Barssave
"These fragrant and delicately flavored lemon bars are specially designed for bake sales, where a semifirm texture and compact package come in handy for the buy-on-the-fly crowd. The contrast between the confectioners' sugar topping and the bright lemon-yellow filling is gorgeous. Don't cut them too large: just a few bites satisfy nicely...."
