    I was given this book in 1971 from a good friend,,,over the years had to replace it with your new one,,,but this recipe is better than the butter tart slice,,,so glad my family suggested I google this as the old book got left behind in Arizona
    Merry Christmas

    Hello!
    Has anyone who has made this recipe tried doubling or tripling it? I have to make a big batch but wondering if increasing the quantities will comprise the final product?
    Thank you!

    • Best of Bridge Editors says:

      Hi Celine, you can definitely double or triple this recipe without adjusting the ingredient quantities. Be sure to keep the filling well mixed during pouring. Enjoy!

    I have the May 1978 book but somehow the binding came apart and I lost page 199-200 which has this recipe and the tart shell recipe. I somehow found the recipe but would love to rebind and get the lost page. Anyone have that page?
    About the recipes which I have made many times. There is no match to this recipe. I can hardly take the compliments because everyone absolutely loves them.
    It takes a bit to make the shells so put on some good music and get to work.
