In the summer of 2010 I went home for a vacation. My parents and I were cleaning out keepsakes from my childhood when I was given my grandmother's hand written cookbook from the 1950s. I thought I would share some of the recipes from that book with you all - along with some of my own.
Enjoy this recipe for "Dream Squares" from grammie's recipe book
Bottom -
1/2 cup of butter (sweet cream & salted)
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 cup flour
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
2. Mix the above 3 ingredients in a mixing bowl. It should look a bit lumpy and bumpy not so smooth. Spread evenly onto your greased pan.
3. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes
For the topping
2 tablespoons of butter (sweet cream & salted)
2 eggs
1/2 cup cocanut
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup walnuts
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1. Coarsley chop the walnuts or you can use the ones that are chopped up already.
2. Mix the ingredients for the top and spread evenly over the bottom.
3. Bake at 325 degrees F until golden brown 30 -35 minutes (how gooey do you like 'em?!)
4. Remove from pan and let cool - enjoy! (They taste better than they look)
