Lemon Squares

This is my mother's recipe and I have always loved it. Quick and easy to prepare. When I don't have time to make my own lemon filling, I prefer Jello lemon pudding and pie filling (the kind you cook, NOT the instant).

• Ready In: 43 mins
• Serves: 12
• Yields: 12 squares

Ingredients

• 1 3⁄4 cups  cracker crumbs
• 1  teaspoon baking powder
• 3⁄4 cup flour
• 1⁄2 cup white sugar
• 3⁄4 cup butter
• 1⁄2 cup flaked coconut
• 2  tablespoons milk
•  lemon pie filling mix

Directions

1. Mix first 7 ingredients together. Press half the mixture onto the bottom of an 8"x8" pan.
2. Bake at 350° for 8 minutes.
3. Prepare lemon filling. Pour over the mixture in the pan. Sprinkle with the rest of the crumbs.
4. Return to oven and bake until top starts to brown a little, about 30 minutes. Watch closely so the squares do not burn.
