Boterkoek
Easy to make, freezes well and oh, so good!
Boterkoek – is the Dutch word for Buttercake.
It is a type of shortbread that is pretty much a standard recipe in most Dutch homes. Easy to make, freezes well and oh, so good! This is my version…..

Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- Use almond extract rather than vanilla extract for a different flavour
Instructions
- Beat softened butter and sugar together until well mixed and creamy
- Add egg and vanilla to mixture and cream together
- Mix baking powder and flour separately
- Stir flour/baking powder into butter mixture and combine well
- Place dough into 8.5 - 9 inch pan and press mixture down gently
- Bake in preheated oven - 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes until top is golden brown
- Cool on racks and cut into desired size
- Caution: the mixture will double in height while baking - so make sure your pan is no more than 1/2 full - an oven "butter fire" is not a lot of fun :)
