My cousin and her husband, who live in Indiana, will be coming for the day today. We look forward to the visit as we have not seen them in a while. I decided to make a good fall supper of pot roast, mashed potatoes and gravy, and our farmer still has corn on the cob and fresh tomatoes. For dessert, I am making "Frosted Lemon Bars". They are quite yummy and so thought I'd share the recipe with you.
Frosted Lemon Bars
Crust:
2 cups Corn Flakes cereal, crushed to 1 cup (sometimes I use Special K)
1 cup flour
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
Bars:
2 Tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1-1/2 cups shredded coconut
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts
Lemon Icing:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 Tablespoon butter, melted
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
Crust: Combine corn flakes, flour, brown sugar and butter; mix well. Press evenly in bottom of 13x9 inch pan. Bake at 275 degrees for 10 minutes. Removed baked crust from oven and set aside.
Bars: Mix together the 2 Tablespoons flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside
Combine eggs, brown sugar, coconut and vanilla in mixing bowl, beat well. Add flour-salt mixture and nuts, mix well. Spread over baked crust.
Return to oven and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until bars are lightly browned.
Icing: Combine powdered sugar, melted butter and lemon juice; beat until smooth. After bars are baked and still warm, frost with icing. (doesn't have to cover the entire top; put dollops of icing on here and there and spread a little. It kind of melts a little) Cool and cut into bars.
