NUTTY SLICES

These nutty bars are just deliciously gooey and nutty and the recipe comes from the Ladies of the WI. I used a nut mix of Walnuts, Hazelnuts, Cashews and Almonds [in Lidl] but you can use any nut combo. So easy. But don’t panic when you cut them after baking, the top will crack.

You will need a Swiss roll tin [I used one 7” x 12”]  that has been buttered and lined. Pre heat your fan oven to 170C

3 oz melted butter

12 oz light soft brown sugar

2 med eggs, beaten

½ teaspoonful vanilla bean paste or extract

6 oz plain flour

2 level teaspoonfuls baking powder

7-8 oz nuts [roughly chopped]

In a medium bowl stir the melted butter into the sugar and beat well,  then adding the eggs and vanilla. Continue beating until well combined. Stir in the flour with the baking powder and add this into the sugar mix. Now add your chopped nuts.

Tip into your prepared tin and level off and bake for about 30-35 mins. Cut into bars while still hot and leave the bars in the tin until cold. 

Enjoy!

Note: I did think that they might be even better if you add a tablespoonful of cocoa! Next time….
