1 c. light brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 c. flour, sifted
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. double-action baking powder
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. walnuts, coarsely chopped

Melt butter over low heat, remove from heat. Stir in brown sugar until blended and cool. Stir in egg. Sift together and stir in flour, double-action baking powder and salt. Stir in vanilla and walnuts. Spread in well greased and floured square pan, 8 x 8 x 2 inches. Bake 20 to 25 minutes in moderate 350 degree oven.
