My grandmother Mackie used to make at least two pans of these at Christmas. I would be too, if Dane and I were going to be home, as these were his favourites.
Watkin's Walnut (tea squares)
Lower crust:
3/4 cup butter, creamed
1/3 cup sugar
2 egg yolks well beaten
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp vanilla
Blend all well and press into a 9x9 pan. Bake at 350F 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned
Upper crust:
2 eggs beaten
2 Tlbs flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup walnuts
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup shredded coconut (moistened with a little milk)
1 tsp vanilla
Mix all together and spread over partly baked crust. Bake a further 20 minutes. Cool. Ice with almond buttercream.
Because Dane and I will be on opposite sides of the globe this year, I may have to wait until he and his family come for a visit in the spring.
