Lemon Bar Crust prior to puring the filling on top

It is a pretty common snack and one can easily find a Lemon Bar recipe, but when come to its taste, i think everyone might have their own preferences.  For me, i prefer less sour with thin filling and more crust, just a bit of lemony to go with.  It took me 3 trial to reach to the taste that i like and thanks to my 3 supportive lovers who have given their full support by finishing all of the lemon bar that i made!
