Mom's Butterscotch Bars

2 c brown sugar
2 c unsalted butter
2 eggs
1 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
2 c flour


Preheat oven to 350°F
You'll need a 15x11 jelly roll pan (a half sheet pan can be used but bars will be thin.)


Melt butter in a double boiler (I put the mixer bowl on top of a pot of boiling water to make this simple.) Add brown sugar and mix until sugar a fully combined. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
(I put the bowl on the mixer, 7ndtalled the paddle and let it mix in low for 10-15 minutes to cool down.)
Add eggs one at a time mixing thoroughly.
Whisk dry ingredients separately then add to butter & brown sugar mixture. Mix well.
Spread evenly into pan.
Bake 20-30 minutes, rotating pan 1/2 way through.
Cut while warm.
