I got this recipe from a friend and now I am required to make it often. I could eat the filling with a spoon it is so good! Ingredients:
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk |
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice |
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest (i always omit as i don't like zest) |
3/4 cup softened butter |
1 1/4 cups brown sugar, firmly packed |
2 cups flour (all-purpose) |
1 1/2 cups oats (i use old-fashioned) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Combine condensed milk, lemon juice and zest and mix well to make filling.
3. In a separate bowl, mix butter and brown sugar until well blended.
4. Add flour and oats cutting in with a pastry blender (as if making a pie crust) to a coarse crumb.
5. Set aside two cups of crust mixture for topping.
6. Press remaining crumbs into a 9 square pan.
7. Spread filling evenly over the top of crust.
8. Sprinkle with remaining crust mixture, patting it gently into the filling.
9. Bake 30-35 minutes or until a light brown.
10. Cool before cutting into 2 1/4 square bars.
