How to Make Glazed Lemon Coconut Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup Bisquick mix (or substitute with 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 ½ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp salt) and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar.
  3. Cut in 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Press the crumb mixture firmly into an ungreased 8x8 inch baking pan.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  6. Meanwhile, prepare the coconut filling: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ cup milk (any kind).
  7. Pour the coconut mixture evenly over the baked crust.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden brown.
  9. Let the bars cool slightly in the pan before running a knife or spatula around the edges to loosen.
  10. While the bars are still warm, prepare the lemon glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon milk until smooth and pourable.
  11. Drizzle the lemon glaze evenly over the warm bars.
  12. Let the bars cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour before cutting into 16 bars.
  13. High altitude adjustment: For higher altitudes, increase the baking time of the crust by 2 minutes (to 12 minutes).
