Help with Maida Heatter recipe

Question

I’m making her California Fruit Bars - first step is to cook 2 cups brown sugar with 4 eggs -the mixture is so thick/stiff then when I add the flour it’s nearly impossible to spread - what am I doing wrong

Tresa · Answer

Thanks - the only liquid in the recipe is the 4 eggs and brown sugar cooked down - I’ve tried it on a low (level 3) heat on my gas range but it’s very foamy and thick
