A classic lemon bar with a shortbread-style crust and a bright, tangy lemon filling. The crust comes together quickly in a food processor, then gets a short pre-bake before the lemon custard goes in. Once baked, let them cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar for a simple, sunshine-y dessert.
