1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
grated rind from 1 lemon
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2/3 cup butter
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 cup old fashioned oats

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Pour condensed milk into medium sized bowl; add lemon rind and juice. Stir until smooth. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cram butter and sugar. Beat well. On lowest speed, add dry ingredients, beating until blended. Mix in the oats. Sprinkle a bit more that half of the oat mixture evenly over the bottom of a buttered 9 x 13-inch pan. Pat to make a smooth firm layer. Spoon lemon mixture over oat layer and spread to make a thin, smooth layer. Sprinkle remaining oat mixture evenly over lemon layer.

Bake in the lower third of a preheated 350°F oven for 30 to 35 minutes until lightly colored. Cool in pan; then refrigerate for 1 hour before cutting into squares. Store in refrigerator.
