Annie's Lucious Lemon Squares

I chose this dish (lemon bars) because it was a specialty of my grandmother (my mother’s mother) and she would bake them often. My grandmother and her family would bake and eat the lemon bars on holidays and special occasions. Though my grandmother passed away a few years ago, my family has continued to make this dish. My grandmother passed the recipe down to my mother, and now my mother has passed it down to me.
