Glazed Lemon Bars

My mom's lemon bar recipe are the best recipe I've ever had. So many recipes that I have tried were eggy or thick and custardy. This one is juicy and soft and the crust is sweet and melts in your mouth and if you decide to do the glaze on top it just finishes off the bar with a lemony bang!
