Add flour, baking soda, salt, and blend for 1 minute. Stir in walnuts.2. Spread batter evenly into pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.3. Meanwhile, for frosting, heat butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until boiling. Let the butter turn a delicate brown and remove from heat immediately.4.

Using a spatula, spread the brown butter frosting over the warm bars (the frosting will be easier to spread while the bars are still warm).
