Gooey Lemon Bars

I have finished uni for the term and what better way to spend my three weeks of luxury (and perpetual bordem) is there than baking (and revising :( ) Hannah my wonderful wonderful girlfriend and my number one go to tester of all culinary creations is still in college so today I thought I would make her gooey lemon bars. Hannah is particularly fond of a deep base (cheese cakes must adhere to her cream cheese to base ratio preference *demand*) and so these bars are the perfect way to put a smile on her face when she gets home!

Ingredients

Now here is where things get a little confusing, last time I made these I made them along side two 15cm diameter lemon tarts, I used half the filling mixture for the tarts and half for the lemon bars I made in a loaf tin. If you too plan to make bars in a loaf tin then half the recipe (use 1 large egg instead of 3 medium) but if using a deep tray bake tin the amounts below will be fine!

For the base:
190g unsalted butter (I melted this before use)
