Lemon Squash Pudding Bars
Ingredients
  • 3 1/4 cups peeled, seeded, and diced yellow squash
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons lemon extract
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
Instructions
1
Insert a steamer basket into a saucepan and fill it with water, leaving about an inch of space at the bottom.
2
Bring the water to a rolling boil and then add your squash, cover it with a lid, and let it steam for 2 to 6 minutes or until it's tender.
3
Transfer the cooked squash to a bowl and use a fork or potato masher to mash it until you get a smooth consistency.
4
Heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius).
5
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish generously with butter or cooking spray.
6
In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, milk, egg, melted butter, and lemon extract.
7
Gradually add flour to the wet ingredients in the bowl, mixing until you get a smooth batter.
8
Fold your mashed squash into the milk mixture until everything is well combined.
9
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake it in the preheated oven until you see air bubbles forming on the surface and the top is golden brown, about an hour.
10
Remove the baked pudding from the oven and let it cool down in the refrigerator until it's firm.
11
Cut the chilled pudding into bars and serve.
