As part of an ongoing series, we are publishing one recipe every week from Pontiac County Recipes, a small book that is home to a collection of kitchen secrets from across the region, published by Pontiac Printshop in 1968.

Our recent rediscovery of this book has inspired us to recirculate its recipes, by way of this newspaper, through the communities from which they first came to us.

As the weather warms, you might be tempted to go outside for walk, run or jaunt on the bicycle. These butterscotch squares are sure to cancel out the calories you just burned — but boy, are they ever tasty.

If you recognize a recipe from either your grandparents’ kitchen, or from your own, please write to us. We would love to hear about how these recipes have lived on.
