Lemon Crumb Squares

Lemon Crumb Squares

I began a cooking group as one of the Relief Society Interest Groups. RS Interest groups have since been discontinued. This recipe is from the kitchen of Patrice Ringger at the 2008 Relief Society Cookie Exchange

1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 tsp grated lemon rind (opt. if using real lemons)
1 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 cup uncooked oatmeal
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup butter (no need to soften)
1 cup brown sugar or dark brown sugar firmly packed

Blend together milk, juice and rind and set aside. Stir together flour, baking powder, salt and oatmeal. Cream butter, blend in sugar. Add flour oatmeal mixture and mix well. Spread half the mixture in an 8×12 inch buttered baking pan and pat down. Spread milk mixture over and top with the remaining crumb mixture dropping pieces evenly. Bake at 350 degrees until brown around edges, about 25 min. Cool at room temp. for 15 min, cut into squares and chill until firm. (Or you can cut after firm)
