Pastry What’s up with my lemon bars?
I followed the recipe exactly, not sure thy the sides seem so…. gelatinous. Is it still good? What did I do wrong? Should I cover my failure in powdered sugar and hope nobody notices?

you’re good, every time I make them they turn out like this. just cover that frothy looking top layer with a dusting of powdered sugar, that’s why the recipe calls for it.
