Creamy Lemon Crumb Squares

Ingredients:
1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 stick butter, slightly softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup oats
1 can (14 ounce) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lemon juice
zest of 1 lemon

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix butter and brown sugar until well combined. Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder.  Add oats and flour to butter/sugar mixture and mix to combine.  Press half of the oat crumb mixture into the bottom of an 8x11 inch pan.  You can use a 9x13 pan, it will just be thinner.

Mix together condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest.  Spread onto the bottom layer of the crumb mixture.  Take the other half of the crumb mixture and knead together with clean hands so that the butter that you added earlier gets incorporated.  Then, crumble on top of lemon layer, but don't press.
Bake for 20 - 25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Allow pan to sit on counter for 30 minutes after baking. Cut into squares and refrigerate for a couple of hours or until cool.

Serve cool.  Makes around one dozen.
