For a printer friendly version of this recipe, click here. You just have to love butter tarts! This is a much quicker way to get your “butter tart hit”. Not tarts, just baked in a 9” square pan. My mom always used currants when she made her butter tarts, so I have used them here. […]
For a printer friendly version of this recipe, click here. These cake like bars come together in a very short time and are very tasty. The addition of wholewheat flour adds a little nuttiness. I have provided two options for icing the bars and if you just aren’t up for either, then a dusting of […]
