in large bowl with electric mixer until creamy. Blend in 3/4 of flour until
mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in remaining flour by hand. Press dough
firmly into ungreased 15-1/2x10-1/2x1" jelly-roll pan or two 9" fluted tart
pans; crimp and flute edges, if desired. Bake 40-45 minutes until light
brown. Place pan on wire rack. Cut into bars or wedges while warm. Decorate
with candied fruit, if desired. Cool completely. Store in airtight
containers. Makes about 4 dozen bars or 24 wedges
