* Saturday mornings were a good time to drop in for a visit while Mary's delicious butter tarts were still warm. Mary & sister Ruby were always in a contest who made the best butter tarts. Mary's tarts were more runny than Ruby with currents & walnuts. Ruby cooked her tarts thicker, but did allow that Mary did a better pastry crust! Aunt Mary also made delicious Hermits cookies, scoffed up while still hot. To conjure up Mary's memory, here is her recipe:
Mary's Hermits:
1 Cup butter (half a pound)
1 Cup brown sugar, creamed & add 1 egg
1 tablespoon cream
Sift together 3 cups flour
3/4 Teaspoon soda
1 Teaspoon baking soda
Add grated rind & just of 1 orange
1 Cup dates
1 Cup walnuts
Add canned citron, which was nice! Fairly stiff batter.
Oven 350 degrees. Cook about 15-17 minutes. - - - [1]
