Yes to both questions so I think I’ll just make sure to keep checking around 25 minutes of baking to avoid the burnt edges.

Thanks, Connie, for your prompt reply. May you & your family continue to whip up delectable dishes/desserts for us to learn from. :=)

Another factor… Was the oven rack in the middle of the oven and was the pan at the center of the rack?

Your blog has been my favorite since I’ve discovered it. The detailed explanation encourages the novice baker in me try the recipes. Whether it be savory or sweet, kuha talaga ang lasang pinoy. So pls continue what you do best.

Yesterday, I tried this lemon squares recipe. Except for the pan (I used an 11″ x 17″ cookie pan) and using 1/3 c lemon juice (didn’t have kalamansi juice), I pretty much followed the rest of your recipe to the letter. After baking it for 30 min., it came out somewhat burnt along the edges. I had to struggle taking the squares off the pan (after it cooled). Well, the burnt part that is. The middle part was ok tho’. I don’t know what I did wrong. Also, should the baked crust be totally cooled first before I pour the mixture? (I poured the mixture as soon as I took the baked crust from the oven after 15 min.) I still was able to bring it to a get together last night (sans the burnt ones) and it was a BIG HIT!!! My husband’s relatives even complained why I didn’t bring more. That’s why I have these many questions because I really want to bake it again. Your recipe made me feel like a rock star to them, so thank you, thank you, thank you!
