Recipe by Deb Wise These lemon bars are straight-up puckery perfection. We mix the filling together just before the crust comes out of the oven and then pour it onto the hot crust so that it sets quickly.

Ingredients

3 ounces unbleached all-purpose flour (about 2/3 cup)
1.5 ounces white whole-wheat flour (about 1/3 cup)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
