Maple Wafers

3 tablespoons butter or regular margarine
1/2 cup maple-blended syrup
1 egg -- beaten
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup sifted flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chopped nuts
Maple Frosting:
1/4 cup butter
1 cup sifted confectioners sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 to 1 teaspoon maple flavoring
1 tablespoon hot water

Melt butter. Remove from heat and stir in maple syrup. Add egg and milk and mix well. Sift together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Add to maple syrup mixture; blend well. Fold in nuts. Chill thoroughly (batter thickens). Drop dough by teaspoonfuls 2-in. apart onto lightly greased baking sheet. Bake in hot oven (400') 8 to 10 minutes. Remove cookies and cool on racks. When cool, spread with Maple Frosting.

Maple Frosting: Heat butter until light golden brown. Stir in confectioners sugar, salt, maple flavoring and enough hot water to make frosting that will spread smoothly on wafers.

Yield: 2 dozen
