I came across these bars while stationed at a Michigan Air Force base in 1964 and have been making them ever since. My children don't think an event is special unless they are part of it. Ingredients:
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar |
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed |
filling: |
2 eggs |
1 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup chopped walnuts |
1/2 cup quartered maraschino cherries |
1/2 cup flaked coconut |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine flour and confectioners' sugar; cut in butter until crumbly. Press into a lightly greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire rack.
2. For filling, in a small bowl, combine the eggs, sugar and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to the egg mixture and mix well. Stir in walnuts, cherries and coconut. Spread over crust. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until firm. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Yield: 3 dozen.
