This recipe from my mother-in-law dates back to the 1930's. My husband makes them just once a year, at Christmas, but they are worth waiting for! Ingredients:
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup shortening |
topping: |
2 eggs |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1-1/2 cups flaked coconut |
1 cup chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and salt. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 325° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
2. In a bowl, beat eggs, brown sugar and vanilla until foamy. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to the egg mixture. Stir in coconut and nuts. Spread over crust. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Yield: 3-1/2 dozen.
