Walnut Tart

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. Bake: 25 min. + cooling YIELD: 12 servings.
Meet the Cook: The first time my husband tried this, he said there ought to be a law against anything tasting so good! I've served it at picnics and family occasions...and even once at a bridal shower. It's fine either as a dessert or for breakfast. We are the parents of three grown children and grandparents of two. -Rovena Wallace, Trafford, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
