Mom's Walnut Bars recipe

3 servings

Ingredients:

1 cup white sugar

1 pound ground walnuts

1 tablespoon orange zest

1 tablespoon fresh orange juice

3 egg whites

2 cups confectioners' sugar

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (100 degrees C).

Combine the white sugar, ground walnuts, orange zest, orange juice and 2 egg whites.

This mixture will become very sticky and paste-like.

Form the paste into a long rectangle on a smooth surface sprinkled with sugar so that it won't stick.

The rectangle should be about 16 x 4 inches.

Make the frosting by mixing the remaining egg white with the confectioners' sugar.

You don't need to beat the egg white first! You may need to add a little water, or a little more powdered sugar to form a paste that you can easily spread, but that isn't runny.

Spread the frosting over your rectangle.

Use a knife covered with sugar to cut the rectangle into small 1 x 2 inch bars and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake at 200 degrees F (100 degrees C) for about 35 minutes or until frosting is hard but still white.

Enjoy with a big glass of milk!
