Lemon Bars with Shortbread Crust

Whenever possible, and with a guest at the table, wrapping up an evening with a sweet finisher just seems like the right thing to do. Friday night a week ago, after tackling those tempting platters of pork medallions, the dessert I'd whipped up was a pan of lemon bars with a shortbread crust. Ever since this recipe waltzed into the Roediger House archives, it's been enthusiastically embraced and eagerly eaten, sometimes with the adorning bonus of a shake or six of powdered sugar atop.
