Lemon Bars

1 (18.25 ounce) package lemon or yellow cake mix
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg
2 cups finely crushed saltine cracker crumbs
3 egg yolks
1 (14 ounce) can EAGLE BRAND® Sweetened Condensed Milk (NOT evaporated milk)
1/2 cup lemon juice from concentrate

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 15 X10X1-inch baking pan. In large bowl, combine cake mix, butter and 1 egg; mix well (mixture will be crumbly). Stir in cracker crumbs. Reserve 2 cups crumb mixture. Press remaining crumb mixture firmly on bottom of prepared pan. Bake 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, combine egg yolks, EAGLE BRAND® and lemon juice; mix well. Spread evenly over baked crust.

Top with reserved crumb mixture. Bake 20 minutes or until firm. Cool. Cut into bars. Store covered in refrigerator.

if you like lemon bars these are a must!

he fact that it calls for saltines is a bit weird but they are delicious! (make sure to crush the saltines very fine)
