This is a traditional Colombian recipe for a sweet bar that is typically served on Easter Sunday.
Ingredients:
250g plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
240g rolled oats
1/4 tsp sea salt
200g brown sugar
150g butter, finely diced
360ml
arequipe
Method:
Combine the flour, baking powder, oats, salt and brown sugar in a bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs then press half the mixture into the base of a small rectangular baking pan that's been well buttered.
Spread the arequipe over the top then top with the remaining crumb mix. Pat down lightly to compress then transfer to an oven pre-heated to 200°C and bake for about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before cutting into bars. Gently remove the bars from the pan then set on a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
