These bars were baked for our family when I was growing up. I found the original recipe while looking through one of my local church cookbooks. The bars are a real treat and I think I love them so much because of the oatmeal and raisins!
Ingredients:
1 cup raisins
1 cup water
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups oatmeal
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pinch salt
Directions:
1. Combine first 5 ingredients and boil until thick.
2. Cream butter and brown sugar and add remaining ingredients.
3. Put 1/2 of creamed mixture in 8-in. square pan, cover with raisin filling and top with remaining creamed mixture.
4. Bake at 325 for for 30 minutes. Cut when cool.
