Notes
For extra lemony flavor, add a few drops of lemon extract along with the lemon juice. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To prevent sticking, grease the pan well with butter or cooking spray before pressing the mixture in. For easier cutting, lightly grease your knife with butter or cooking spray.
