National Lemon Bar Day was established by Michael McCarthy in 2019. Many individuals were astonished to learn that the lemon bars he prepared for a benefit bake sale were foreign to them.
National Lemon Bar Day is observed on October 15 each year. Michael McCarthy founded the holiday in 2019 after concluding a bake sale and discovering that a significant number of attendees had never before tried a lemon bar. A confection bar consisting of a thin shortbread crust and a lemon curd filling, also known as a lemon square. Although they had been featured in community cookbooks and local newspapers for some time, it wasn’t until August 27, 1962, when the “Chicago Daily Tribune” published the first widely circulated lemon bar recipe.
National Lemon Bar Day was established by Michael McCarthy in 2019. Many individuals were astonished to learn that the lemon bars he prepared for a benefit bake sale were foreign to them. A confection bar consisting of a thin shortbread crust and a lemon curd filling, also known as a lemon square. Although they had been featured in community cookbooks and local newspapers for some time, it wasn’t until August 27, 1962, when the “Chicago Daily Tribune” published the first widely circulated lemon bar recipe. The recipe featured in the ‘Today’s $5 Favorite Recipe’ column was submitted by Eleanor Mickelson and stated, “For a delectable dessert, pair these cookies with fresh fruit. For a light snack, pair them with glasses of cold milk or lemonade.”
Subsequent to presenting a comprehensive inventory of components, the column proceeded to furnish elaborate directives: “Blest and air cream butter and confectioners’ sugar.” Mix in one cup of flour thoroughly. Spread in a nine-by-nine-by-two-inch ungreased pan. Bake for ten minutes at 350 degrees. Beat sugar progressively into eggs: Salt and lemon juice should be added. Combine two tablespoons of flour and sifted baking powder; incorporate thoroughly. Proceed to broil the crust at 350 degrees for an additional 30 minutes. Once chilled, sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar and divide into squares.
1963 saw the publication of an additional recipe that captured the nation’s attention in Betty Crocker’s Cooky Book. The sole difference between its composition and that of Mickelson was the omission of flour in the curd. Presently, lemon bars are a well-liked dessert in the United States.
