Lemon Crumble Bars 1968 - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup crushed soda cracker
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup room temperature butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups small flaked coconut or 1 1/2 cups desiccated coconut
1 (6 ounce) package jello brand or sheriff brand lemon pudding mix (for one pie)

Preparation

Prepare the lemon pie filling according to the package direction.
Remove from heat and let cool.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a 9 inch square pan or a 7 x 11 brownie pan.
Sift the all purpose flour with the baking powder.
Rub in the room temperature butter until crumbs are formed.
Add the crushed soda cracker (I usually use salted as those are the ones I always have).
Add the sugar and coconut.
Spread half crumb mixture into pan.
Press to form crust.
Pour cooked cooled lemon pie filling over evenly.
Sprinkle and pat down slightly the remainder of the crumbs.
Bake 350 degrees, until golden brown about 12 to 16 minutes.
Remove from oven to a rack.
Must be cooled completely before cutting into squares.
Can be frozen without any problems.
Very delicate, can be cut into small squares while frozen.
