MOLASSES BARS



Molasses Bars image

These are my Grandma Marion's Molasses Bars, also known as hermit bars. Chewy, delicious sweet bars for the molasses lovers!

Provided by Karlynn Johnston

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups of white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup and 2 tablespoons of margarine (or butter)
2 small eggs
1 1/2 cups of raisins
1/2 cup of molasses
3 1/4 cups of flour
2 teaspoons rounded baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
dash of allspice

Steps:

  • Kick the tires and light the fires to 375 °F.
  • Cream the sugars and the margarine together. Add in your two eggs and beat in completely.
  • Add in the molasses to the margarine/sugar mix and mix in thoroughly.
  • Whisk together the dry ingredients.
  • Combine the wet and dry and mix well.Then add in your raisins.
  • Divide the dough into two pieces, and from each half form three long rolls on a cookie sheet.
  • Build them up as high as you can and they fit across a baking sheet, width-wise. When you build them up, you get a thicker, chewier bar.
  • Bake them in the oven at 375 for 13-15 minutes, and do not over/under bake. This from my grandma's instructions. So they need to be baked until the edges are cooked and the middle slightly still underdone.
  • Slice them across into about 8-10 squares when they are fully cooled, needless to say, this recipe makes a large amount, you can end up with 40-60 of the little bars!

Time 1h

Yield 18 bars

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups/310 grams all-purpose flour
1 cup/227 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), chilled, cut in 1-inch chunks
1/2 cup/50 grams confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons/56 grams unsalted butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup/60 milliliters molasses
1/4 cup/60 milliliters golden syrup or organic corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon clove
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 tablespoon dark rum
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 ounces/113 grams chopped dates (about 1 cup)
8 ounces/227 grams pecan halves or pieces (about 2 cups)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Make the shortbread crust: Pulse flour, butter, confectioners' sugar and salt in a food processor until mixture looks like wet sand. (Alternatively, work the mixture with fingertips or a pastry cutter.)
  • Press shortbread mixture into the bottom of a 9-by-9-inch square cake pan in an even layer. Bake crust for 20 minutes, until very lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling: In a medium saucepan, whisk together melted butter, eggs, molasses, golden syrup, cardamom, allspice, clove, nutmeg, salt, orange zest, rum and vanilla extract. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in dates.
  • Pour filling over prebaked crust, then sprinkle pecans over filling. Bake for 30 minutes, or until filling is no longer jiggly and seems set.
  • Remove from oven and cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of pan to loosen cake, then invert pan over a cutting board to remove. Invert again and cool completely before cutting into bars approximately 1 1/2 by 3 inches.
