Maple Nut Squares |
If you like pecan pie this is a recipe for
you.
Crust
1 ¼ cups flour
1/3 cup sugar (maple, white or brown)
½ cup softened butter
Mix flour and sugar, then cut in the butter and blend until mixture resembles
coarse meal. Press into the bottom of a greased 8”or 9” square
pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees.
Topping
1 cup maple syrup
½ cup sugar (maple, white or brown)
2 large eggs, beaten well
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
2 tablespoons flour
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans or almonds)
Combine all ingredients except the nuts. Beat well, stir in nuts and pour
over the baked crust. Bake at 350 for 35 to 45 minutes, until set.
We ate it warm and a little gooey in a bowl with a scoop of vanilla ice
cream for a delicious variation on a brownie sundae.
