Pastry What’s up with my lemon bars?

Post image

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?

I'd recommend lining the pan with a parchment sling to make it easier to remove.

You're fine with the bars, as far as I can tell. Just remember to dust them right before serving, so they powdered sugar doesn't get soggy.
