Lemon Bars
Source: Ellen Straine (Calling All Cooks, Food TV Network)
1 cup (2 sticks) butter – not margarine
1 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1 1/4 cup oatmeal (not instant)
Juice of 3 lemons
Zest of 2 lemons, chopped fine
Zest of 1 orange, chopped fine
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
Cream butter and sugar, then add the flour and oatmeal to make the dough (it will be a little crumbly). Set aside. Stir juice and zest into milk. Set aside.
Butter (or spray) a 9 by 13 inch pan (Use Corningware - Ellen did and I do too.). Press two-thirds to three-quarters of the dough into the pan. Spread lemon/milk mixture evenly over the top of the dough. Sprinkle the remaining dough (kind of like streusel) over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes until golden. When cool (cool 1 hour), slice into 1-inch squares.
Note from Pat in Atlanta:
These are very good and worth waiting the hour for them to cool. If you don’t wait, they may crumble and fall apart. Enjoy the delicious bars and the rave reviews you will get.
