Nutty Bars

A serious deficiency in self sufficiency has been the difficulty in making sweets or other treats. These Walnut bars, however, come half-way to being acceptable.

2 oz butter
8 oz soft brown sugar
1 medium egg
¼ tsp vanilla essence
4 oz plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
4 oz walnuts
Cream the sugar and melted butter, then beat in the egg and vanilla essence. Sift the flour, salt and baking powder and then fold into the sugar mixture. Fold in the nuts. Bake at gas mark 4 for 30 minutes
