Yield 12 slices

Number Of Ingredients 11

Dough:
1 C butter, melted
2 eggs
1 C sugar
2 C flour
1 tsp vanilla
Filling:
1 3/4 C cream
4 eggs, beaten
1 tbsp flour
1 1/2 C sugar

Steps:

  • Combine the dough ingredients using the "creaming" method. The dough will be the consistancy of cake batter. Place on a 10X16 baking sheet (greased or parchment paper please). Arrange fruit, cottage cheese, or canned fruit (drained) if desired. Filling: Combine all ingredients and pour over fruit. Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake 30 minutes at 350 until light brown.

Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in the best-tasting kuchen bars.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough, dense kuchen bars. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the kuchen bars until they are set: The kuchen bars should be golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Let the kuchen bars cool completely before cutting: This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the kuchen bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
