Read this one with the card open. Something on it is illegible, missing or ambiguous. It is transcribed exactly as written — nothing has been guessed or filled in — and every uncertainty is marked below.
Summary
A two-part bar recipe — a pressed crumb bottom baked first, then a brown-sugar filling poured over and baked again — good for a butter-tart-style bar search when a bake time and temperature are already needed.
Ingredients
Bottom layer: - 1/2 cup butter - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 2 Tbsp brown sugar
Filling: - 2 eggs - 1 1/2 cup brown sugar - 1/2 cup oatmeal - 1/4 tsp baking powder - 1 tsp vanilla - 1/2 cup chopped walnuts/currants (written on the card as "walnuts/currants" — not clear whether this means a choice of one or both combined; transcribed as written, not resolved)
Method
- Cut butter into flour and brown sugar until crumbly.
- Press into a 9x9 pan.
- Bake 350°F for 15 minutes.
- Mix filling ingredients well.
- Pour over the partially baked crumb bottom.
- Return to oven and bake 20 minutes longer.
- Cool before cutting.
