| 2278.2 | Our favorite Lemon Squares | BUOVAX::OLSON | Joanna Olson @BUO 249-4012 | Fri Mar 02 1990 10:19 | 24 |
| This is one of my family's favorite treats, and easy too -- my kids
have been making these squares since they were in grammar school.
Lemon Squares
1 cup flour 2 eggs
1/2 cup margarine 1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup sugar, divided 1/4 tsp lemon extract
Combine flour, margarine, salt, and 1/4 cup of sugar; press into a
lightly greased 8-inch square pan. Bake at 350 deg. F for 20 minutes.
While the crust is baking, combine the remaining ingredients in a small
bowl. When the crust is set and golden brown, pour the contents of the bowl
over the crust. Return the pan to the oven and bake at 350 deg. F for 25
minutes.
Allow the pan to cool for 15 minutes, then cut the squares with a
sharp knife. Let the squares cool completely before serving.
Yield: 9-12 bars. (You could get 16 squares but they would be very
small.)
Variation: You can double this recipe and bake in a 9x13-inch pan,
with no change in oven temperature or baking time. The squares will be a
little thicker.

| I finally remembered to bring in this recipe. These are great and
so easy to make.
FILLED SQUARES
Mix together: 1 1/2 cups shortening
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
Add to: 4 cups of flour
2 cups of sugar
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt
Mix well by hand. Press a little more than half of the batter in
a greased pan. (I use the big rectangle Pyrex glass dish). Spread
filling (blueberry, lemon, apple, etc..). Make small balls with
the rest of the batter. Flatten in hands. Lay them on top of the
filling. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon and sugar (optional).
Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes. Let cool before cutting.
Notes: I buy the Comstock pie filling and use about 3/4 of the
can. After you flatten the remainder of the dough and
place it on top of the filling, spread them out a little
because when this cooks it will join together.
Enjoy!

| 2278.6 | What Charoset stands for .... | TAVIS::JUAN | | Thu Dec 20 1990 12:15 | 14 |
| Perhaps we should explain why and how Charoset is linked to Passover.
According to the Jewish tradition, Passover is the celebration of the
deliverance of the children of Israel from slavery in Egypt.
The slaves had to prepare mud bricks to build for Paroh.
The ritual of Passover today, includes Charoset, a kind of paste,
made of grated apples (which turn brown), dates, etc., which ressemble
the mud our ancestors used to build the cities for Paroh.
