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.
