1/2 c. soft butter
1 c. flour
2 tbsp. sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
3 tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. currant

Cream butter, mix in 1 cup flour and 2 tablespoons sugar. With floured fingers, press into ungreased 9 x 9 inch pan smoothly. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. While crust is baking, mix remaining ingredients together. Pour and spread filling over partially-baked crust. Return to oven and bake 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool before cutting into squares.

Chopped walnuts or pecans may be substituted for currants, or a combination of both currants and nuts may be used.
