LOVELY VANILLA SQUARES
Ljuvliga vaniljrutor

Makes 42 squares

1 lb butter or margarine

4 cups flour
1 ¾ cups sugar
4 tablespoons vanilla sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder

Filling:

4 eggs
2 dl Kesella (Swedish dairy Product, if you can’t find it 
you can try to substitute with Greek or Turkish yogurt - 
it tastes a little more than the Kesella, but …)
2 cups crème fraîche
1 ¼ cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla sugar

Decoration:

powdered sugar

Heat the oven to 390F.

Quickly work butter, flour, sugar, vanilla sugar and baking powder to a crumble dough in a food processor. Press out half of the dough in a roasting pan, 12 x 16 inches and covered with baking paper (the pan, not the dough).

Filling: Mix eggs, Kesella or substitute (you may have an equal product!), crème fraîche, sugar and vanilla sugar and pour this over the dough layer in the pan. Crumble remaining dough on top and bake in the middle of the oven for about 30 minutes.

Sift with powdered sugar just before serving.

Enjoy!
