Sometimes I feel that it would be wonderful to own a bed and breakfast.
It just seems like fun to me. I have always liked to entertain. People do know that when they come over they are going to be fed something. It is fun to me.
Today a recipe for
Butterfingers A Family Tradition
china pattern Noritake Monteleone
Afternoon Tea anyone?

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup butter softened
1/3 cup confectioners powdered sugar
Extra confectioners powdered sugar for coating cookies
1 tablespoon ice water
1 tablespoon milk
1 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
Beat butter with mixer
slowly add flour and sugar to butter
Add Ice Water
Add milk
Stir in nuts
Take a small amount about a 1 inch ball into hands shape into curved finger
Place on greased cookie sheet
Bake until edges are very lightly browned
cool on rack for about 2 minutes
Take a bowl and add powdered sugar

These are so good. They are buttery, flaky, melt in your mouth good.
You may also double recipe, bake and freeze these.
Put in a Freezer safe container, because they are fragile
They freeze well for up to 2 months, take out what you need leave the rest.
