mother's sour cream bars
I believe that my mother received this recipe from my great aunt who is in her mid 90's. I get wonderful comments on these bars every time I make them. This past spring I was diagnosed as gluten intolerant and therefore I have been learning to make many of my original recipes with gluten-free flour. This recipe I have been making as gluten-free also and no one can tell the difference. Just use Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour and some xanthan gum and everything else is the same. Good luck and please let me know if anyone tries this. Thanks.

These bars are different from anything we've ever had. They have a crunchy oatmeal crust that complements the creamy middle layer. The layer is sweet and tangy with raisins in every bite. A delicious old-fashioned heirloom recipe.
