I made these last night, but used a recipe I had that was about 3/4 of the quantities that Alix used, so they turned out kinda thin. Next time, I'll try her amounts for thicker bars.

But they taste GREAT!

Rather than pull my usual substitution routines, I looked for a recipe that used oil instead of butter. I used this: Recipes - Luscious Lemon Bars
but didn't bother with the drizzle. I don't see how how a tablespoon of milk is supposed to turn 3/4 of a cup of sugar into something drizzleable though... The result of my efforts is rather nice and especially lemony

We have a Myer lemon tree in our back yard at home, so lovely for making lemon bars!

Would it be possible to sub orange zest and juice for lemon?

Edit: my research suggests that it is possible. (awesome)
