The recipe for these treats is from the All-Butter, Fresh Cream, Sugar-Packed Baking Book. So Nutmeg is sure that you can sort out the level of decadence. The squares are a great balance between tart and sweet. You do not need too much but they are a proven crowd-pleaser!

¼ Cup + some for sprinkling Confectioners Sugar
8 Tablespoons (1 Stick) Unsalted Butter, at room temperature, cut in 8 pieces
