Recipe - Butterscotch Walnut Bars

CRUST
1 One half cup Flour
One fourth teaspoon Salt
Three fourths cup Packed LightBrown Sugar
One half cup Butter,; Cut In One half Inch Pcs

TOPPING
One fourth cup Light Corn Syrup
6 ounce Butterscotch Pieces
Salt
2 tablespoon Butter Or Margarine
1 Tbl Water
8 ounce Walnuts,; Chopped
MediumFine

CRUST: In bowl mix flour, salt and sugar. With pastry blender cut in butter
until mixture resembles coarse meal. Spread mixture evenly in greased 13 x
9x 2 inch pan, then with hand press firmly into smooth compact layer. Bak
ein preheated 375 degree oven about 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
Remove pan to rack while you prepare topping.

TOPPING: Combine syrup, butterscotch pieces, salt, butter and water in
large heavy saucepan. With rubber spatula stir over low heat, pressing
butterscotch until melted and smooth. (A few tiny unmelted pieces of
butterscotch are all right.) Quickly stir in walnuts and remove from heat.
Working quickly to prevent mixture from hardening, place large spoonfuls on
warm baked crust. With back of spoon spread mixture to within One half to 3/4
inch of crust edges (during baking, topping will run toward edges). Bake in
375 degree oven 10 minutes. Cool in pan 30 to 40 minutes or until only
slightly warm. With small sharp knife loosen around edges, then cut in 16
bars. (Bars in center of pan will appear too soft, but they will become
firm as they cool; wait to remove them.) With wide metal spatula transfer
bars to cutting board; cool thoroughly until firm. Cut each bar in half.
