Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350°F. In small bowl, mix 1 cup Bisquick mix and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through mixture in opposite directions), until crumbly. Press in ungreased 8-inch square pan.

Bake uncovered about 10 minutes or until light brown. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix all remaining bar ingredients. Pour coconut mixture over baked layer.

Bake about 25 minutes longer or until set and golden brown. Loosen edges from sides of pan while warm.

In small bowl, stir lemon glaze ingredients until smooth; spread over bars. Cool completely, about 1 hour. For bars, cut into 4 rows by 4 rows.

REVIEWS:

I had this at a picnic and it was really good. Good lemon flavor.

When the pan was pulled from the oven the entire house filled with the aroma of the Lemon. The color was spectacular, as was the texture. The crust had a rich under taste almost like a short bread. The pan was supposed to last the several days, but was gone by the end of the evening. If you have a sweet tooth, or, want to impress this is one dessert to make over and over again.
