Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 13

pre-heat oven to 350 degrees f
BASE INGREDIENTS
1 c all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 c butter, softened
FILLING INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 c packed brown sugar
1 c chopped walnuts
1/2 c raisins
3 eggs, eaten
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking power
1 tsp good vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare the base: In a small bowl, mix together the flour and sugar. Using two knives or a pastry blender or your fingers, cut butter in until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press evenly into 9-inch square, ungreased pan. Bake in a preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Place pan on wire rack.
  • 2. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, walnuts and raisins. Add eggs, flour, baking powder and vanilla and beat until well blended.
  • 3. Spread evenly over hot base and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Place pan on a wire rack to cool completely. (The filling may seem a bit jiggly at first but will become firm when completely cooled). Cut into bars
