108732 seared scallops with meyer lemon beurre blanc Recipes

m ashamed to admit it but i am a lemon bar snob. i m not proud of it. well, maybe the word snob is a bit harsh. let s just say that i have very strong preferences when it comes to lemon bars., i prefer a delicate, buttery crust with a slight snap to it. and the crust should never be more than half the overall height of the lemon bar. i don tsp want to chew endlessly on an overly thick and, inevitably, tough crust. or even worse, mash my way through the gummy mess of an underdone crust., i prefer a dominant lemon flavor untainted by the milkiness of cream , evaporated or condensed milk. it should be just tart enough to make my mouth pucker a teeny bit. don tsp get me wrong. a creamy lemon confection has its place in my dessert kingdom, but not in the form of lemon bars. sorry, milk, but tart is king., i prefer my lemon filling to be smooth and soft, but not runny. when the filling hits my tongue it should be luscious. overcooking the filling will turn the lemon bar into a sponge. no 1 wants to eat a lemon flavored sponge, least of all me., i prefer my lemon bars dusted with confectioners sugar. but not so heavily dusted that exhaling will shower the table (or your neighbor) with sugar., finally, i prefer to eat my lemon bars with a fork. that s not snobbish, is it
