Sonrisa’s Butter Tart Squares

Ingredients

• Base:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup cold butter
• Topping:
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Whisk 1 cup flour and white sugar together in a bowl; cut 1/2 cup cold butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender until crumbly. Press flour mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch square cake pan.
