Cinnamon Raisin Bars - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
2 tablespoons water (divided)
RAISIN FILLING
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup water
2 cups raisins
ICING
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon milk (1 to 2)

Preparation

Combine the raisin filling ingredients in a saucepan and heat over medium heat until the raisins are plump and the liquid has almost completely evaporated (about 10 minutes).
While the raisin filling is heating, cream the butter and brown sugar together, mix in the dry ingredients and 1 tablespoon of water (it will be very crumbly).
Press half of the mixture (about 2 cups) firmly into the bottom of a greased 9\"x13\" pan and spread with the raisin filling.
Mix 1 tablespoon of water with the remaining crumbs and scatter over the raisin filling.
Bake at 350\u00b0F for 35 minutes and then cool slightly.
Mix together the cinnamon icing, adding enough milk to make a drizzling consistency, drizzle over the top and cut into squares.
