There's a golden crust nicely seasoned with nutmeg, allspice and honey on these sweet bars. The recipe was given to me by an aunt. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 egg |
1 tablespoon honey |
1-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
2/3 cup strawberry jam |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in egg and honey. Combine the flour, baking powder, allspice and nutmeg; gradually add to creamed mixture.
2. Divide the dough in half; spread half into a lightly greased 9-in. square baking pan. Spread with jam. Drop remaining dough by teaspoonfuls over jam. Sprinkle with walnuts.
3. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until top is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Yield: 16 bars.
