Maple squares

Maple syrup squares

This recipe comes from my friend Melissa and I believe it adapted from a Pampered Chef recipe.

2/3 C brown sugar

1 C maple syrup

Combine the above ingredients in a microwave safe dish and microwave for 5 minutes.

Make sure you dish is tall enough that it doesn't spill over. Let cool on the counter.

Preheat the oven to 400 F

1/2 C butter

1/4 C brown sugar

1 Cup flour

In a bowl mix together butter, brown sugar and flour so that you get a granular mixture. Press mixture into a square pan to make the crust. Bake the crust for 20 minutes at 400 F.

Reduce temperature to 350 F

2 eggs

1/4 C butter

2 tablespoons flour

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Beat eggs and add to cooled syrup mixture. Beat/mix in the butter, vanilla, and flour. Pour this mixture over the crust.

Bake 40 minutes at 350F
