A cup of tea looks lonely without something sweet beside it. These bars are a nice accompaniment. I love the combination of the nutty crust and zippy lemon curd.Donna Spenser, New Virginia, Iowa Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 jar (10 ounces) lemon curd |
2/3 cup flaked coconut |
1/2 cup chopped almonds, toasted |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Combine flour and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
2. Set aside 1 cup mixture for topping; press remaining mixture onto the bottom of a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Bake 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool for 10 minutes.
3. Spread lemon curd over crust. In a small bowl, combine the coconut, almonds and reserved topping mixture; sprinkle over lemon curd.
4. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Yield: 2 dozen.
