Shortbread Lemon Squares

This Lemon Squares recipe was written right on an envelope, with the shortbread crust on one side of a red line and the lemon topping on the other. The crust gets its first trip through the oven while the topping is mixed, then everything goes back in together for a bright, lemony layer over the shortbread base. Let them cool before cutting into squares
