Time 1h40m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup unsalted Gay Lea Butter, softened
2 tablespoons icing sugar
Pinch salt
½ cup chopped, crispy bacon
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons rice flour
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

Steps:

  • Grease an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan; reserve. In a large bowl, beat the butter with the sugar and salt using an electric mixer, for 2 minutes or until light and fluffy.
  • Add the bacon and chives; mix until evenly distributed. Combine the all purpose flour with the rice flour. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture; stir until just combined.
  • Press the dough, in an even layer, into the prepared pan. Cover and chill for 30 minutes or until firm.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C).
  • Lightly score the dough with a knife into 16 squares (do not cut all the way through the dough). Brush the top with maple syrup.
  • Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until set and lightly golden. Immediately cut through the scored wedges. Transfer pan to a wire rack and cool completely.
