Dusty Currant Bars
This is a modified recipe from Mama's 1936 recipe book she gave
me when I married in 1958. This is a must at our house for holiday
baking and any other day they can "beg" you into baking.
I have named these "Dusty Currant Bars" and it goes like this.
1/2 CUP MELTED BUTTER
2 CUPS SUGAR
4 EGGS SLIGHTLY BEATEN; MIX ALL TOGETHER.
ADD SLOWLY THE DRY INGREDIENTS AS A MIXTURE;
2 CUPS FLOUR
1/2 TEASPOON BAKING POWDER
1/8 TEASPOON SALT
Batter will be very thick. Add by hand 2 cups currants and 2 cups
chopped walnuts (or pecans).
Grease a 9x12 loaf pan, line with waxed paper and press dough
into pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes at 350 degrees. Top will appear shiny and golden
brown.
Remove from oven, wait 10-15 minutes, flip onto waxed paper and cut into fingers/bars.
Let cool. Place one cup powdered sugar into Ziploc bag, place 2 or 3 bars at a time and
shake, remove and repeat. Keep cookies in an airtight container or they
will become rock hard.
