Oatmeal Bars 2

  • 1 cup oatmeal
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1¼ cups hot water 
  • ½ cup shortening
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ cup flour
topping:
  1. 6 tbsp. butter
  2. ½ cup brown sugar
  3. 1 cup coconut
  4. ¼ cup cream
  5. 1 tsp. vanilla.

  1. Soak oatmeal and salt in hot water for 20 minutes. (I only soak until the creamed mixture is ready. I think the timing may come from older meal processes where the oats were much thicker. I have used both quick-cooking and regular oats, and it all comes out the same.) 
  2. Cream shortening with white sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, baking soda, and eggs. 
  3. Add flour and oatmeal mixture. 
  4. Bake in 9 x 13 inch pan at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes.

While still warm, top with:
Melted butter, ½ cup brown sugar, coconut, cream, and vanilla.
