10/18/2007: "Pumpkin Bars..."

* 1/2 Cup butter, soft (1 stick)
* 1 Cup brown sugar
* 2 eggs
* 2/3 Cup canned pumpkin
* 1 tsp. PURE VANILLA EXTRACT
* 1 Cup flour
* 1/2 tsp. baking powder
* 1/2 tsp. baking soda
* 1 tsp. CINNAMON
* 1/4 tsp. POWDERED GINGER
* 1/4 tsp. GROUND NUTMEG

Brown Butter Icing:

* 1/2 Cup butter (1 stick)
* 3 Cups powdered sugar
* 1 tsp. PURE VANILLA EXTRACT
* 2 TB milk

Preheat oven to 350°. Cream the butter. Add the brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin, and VANILLA and mix well. In a separate bowl, sift all of the dry ingredients together. Gradually add to the wet mixture and mix well. Pour into a greased 9x13 inch pan and bake at 350° for about 15-20 minutes. Let cool and top with Brown Butter Icing.

Brown Butter Icing
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the butter over low heat until it is a light brown. Remove from heat and add the powdered sugar, VANILLA, and milk. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

I made these and they are great- the icing is a little sweet put the bars are fantastic.
