The new colors, & site is wonderful. The green background was very hard to read for these old eyes. I love your recipes and tips, keep up the good work you are very much appreciated.
Why is there no baking powder put in these bars? That’s a 1st for me.
Thanks for your comment, Leavening is not required for this recipe, which is why it’s not included as an ingredient.
I made these bars after commenting & it turned out like a cake rather than a bar. I followed the ingredients to a tee. Why did this happen?
I make this recipe all the time and it comes out perfect. It’s hard to say what you did wrong. Maybe you used self-rising flour, which has leavening agents in it (you did seem concerned about it lacking baking powder in a previous comment).
You may have melted the butter too much and or likely used the wrong type of pan as well- which can change the texture.
The butter should be softened but not so much that it can’t create little pockets of air when it bakes.
In any case, it sounds like your bars came out much like the photos. Maybe you could share a photo of how yours came out. That makes it easier to diagnose why it didn’t turn out the way you envisioned.
