I made these delicious bars yesterday as a thank you give to the nurses and secretaries at my last clerkship location. They were a hit. I adapted a recipe I found on Epicurious to make them a little more user friendly.
Crust:
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup flour
Filling:
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
juice from 1 large lemon
zest from 1 large lemon
1 teaspoon flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Powdered sugar to sprinkle on top
Blend crust ingredients in food processor until a crumbly dough forms. Press into a 8x8 inch pan lined with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes until golden.
Whisk filling ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Pour over the crust and bake 30 more minutes at 350 degrees F until puffy. It should just spring back when you press down on it. Use the foil to lift it quickly out of the pan onto a cooling rack. Once cool, sift powdered sugar on top and cut into bars.
Enjoy!
Hi Teri. I've baked Lemon Coconut Bars two ganger.først to Grethe aunt, uncle Tjøstel, Granny and Egi. The conclusion was unanimous: wicked good :-) Egil he ate the remains the next day and said they were "sabla" good.
ReplyDeleteThe second time I had the club with "The grape" and they also thought they were good, maybe a little mektige.Jeg served together with ice and it was a great set up projection.
The fresh and the sweet ice.
They are highly recommended :o) Klem fra svigemor.
