LEMON STREUSEL BARS



Lemon Streusel Bars image

These unique lemon bars have a creamy filling made with condensed milk, sandwiched between a sweet, crumbly streusel. The recipe is from a Pampered Chef cookbook created especially for their stoneware collection. If you don't have a stoneware baking dish of the correct size, I'm sure a regular pan would be just fine. The bars might require less baking time, though.

LINGUINE WITH LEMON CREAM AND SAUTéED SCALLOPS RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Linguine with Lemon Cream and Sautéed Scallops Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by garciamoss

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb dried linguine
1 tbsp olive oil
6 large scallops
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 cup white wine
1 cup heavy cream
juice of 2 whole lemons (about 1/3 cup)
Pinch saffron threads
Sliced green onion (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions. While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a medium sauté pan. Season the scallops with salt and paper. When the oil is hot add the scallops.; sear for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and opaque. Remove scallops from pan and set aside. To the same pan add the garlic, sauté for 2 minutes. Add the wine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until liquid is reduced by half. Add the cream, lemon juice, and saffron. Simmer, uncovered, until the liquid is reduced by half and slightly thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in drained cooked pasta; toss to mix well. Top with scallops, garnish with green onion, if desired, and sprinkle with pepper.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemon zest and juice give these bars their bright, citrusy flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor won't be as good.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a 9x13 inch baking pan. This is the best size pan for these bars. If you use a smaller pan, the bars will be too thick and gooey.
  • Bake the bars until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. The bars should take about 30-35 minutes to bake.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These lemon streusel bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for potlucks, picnics, or bake sales. With their bright citrus flavor and crumbly streusel topping, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
