These tender squares from Pam Mroz of Rochester, Minnesota have a sweet frosting and generous sprinkling of poppy seeds throughout. The bars are a snap to whip up, plus they use ingredients I usually have on hand, she notes. Ingredients:
3 eggs |
2-1/4 cups sugar |
1-1/2 cups milk |
1 cup canola oil |
1-1/2 teaspoons almond extract |
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1-1/2 teaspoons butter flavoring or additional vanilla extract |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
4-1/2 teaspoons poppy seeds |
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt |
frosting: |
1/3 cup butter, melted |
3 cups confectioners' sugar |
3 tablespoons milk |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, milk, oil, extracts and butter flavoring. Combine the flour, poppy seeds, baking powder and salt; add to the egg mixture and mix just until combined. Spread into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. 2. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. 3. In a bowl, combine the frosting ingredients; beat until smooth. Frost bars. Yield: about 5-1/2 dozen. |
