Buttermilk Cinnamon Bars
"These are from Sally Grosserode. Very old recipe. They have coconut and nuts too. I have made this recipe. It is wicked good. The batter is loose when you put it over the pressed mixture. It is very rich, almost candy bar like. Try this recipe; you will like it."

I am making these right this minute. There is no direction about the other 1/2 of the Flour. I assumed it went in the top part with the buttermilk but I could be wrong. I do not think mine will look anything like the pictures here. I'm sorry but I need specific directions.

If I could give it more than five stars I would. I keep telling myself "but the cinnamon is supposed to help burn fat ...hehehee" yummy, rich and I think I need to go make some more!!! :) -
Sorry but these did not rise, tasted awful and the directions were vague. Don't make them, they do not look anything like the picture and I think a 9x13 pan is too big.

I like the textures of the bars. Mine didn't look like this photo. The recipe did not specify exactly what to do with the 2nd half of the dry/butter mixture. I ''assumed'' that it was to be mixed with the egg, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, buttermilk & vanilla...which I did. The photo looks like there is an intense layer of cinnamon mixture on the top, but mine did not have that. It is very sweet, so next time I would reduce the sugars by 1/4cup each. The people I work with, loved it though! -
I confess, I didn't expect such a delish.<br/>The crunchy and nutty bottom, the soft middle layer and the glaze make of the bars a delicate speciality. And it is sooo easy! -
These are amazing...so very amazing!!! I agree - if you could give more than 5 stars to this recipe, I would!
