Source of Recipe

Elaine Straine (featured on Calling all Cooks)


List of Ingredients

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1 1/4 cups oatmeal (not instant)
juice of 3 lemons
zest of 2 lemons, chopped fine
zest of 1 orange, chopped fine
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk


Recipe

Cream butter and sugar, then add the flour and oatmeal to make the dough (it will be a little crumbly). Set aside. Stir juice and zest into milk. Set aside. Butter (or spray) a 9 by 13 inch pan. Press two-thirds to three-quarters of the dough into the pan. Spread lemon/milk mixture evenly over the top of the dough. Sprinkle the remaining dough (kind of like streusel) over the top. Bake at 350�F for 30 to 35 minutes until golden. When cool, slice into 1-inch squares.
