Butter Tart Squares 

Contributed by a Helen.  Thanks for sending this in!

You won't need a rolling pin for this old favorite ~ the base is just pressed into the pan. (and yes the Irish do add oats in the filling.)

Base:

bullet1/2 cup butter
bullet1 cup all-purpose flour
bullet2 tablespoons brown sugar

Cut butter into flour and brown sugar until crumbly; press into greased 9-inch square pan. Bake at 350 F (180 C) for 15 minutes.

Filling:

bullet2 large eggs, beaten
bullet1-1/2 cups brown sugar
bullet1/2 cup quick -cooking oats
bullet1/2 teaspoon baking powder
bullet1/4 teaspoon salt
bullet1 teaspoon vanilla extract
bullet1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Combine all ingredients well and pour over the baked base.

Return to oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
Cool before cutting into squares.
