Ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 cups unsifted flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar , firmly packed
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam or 1/2 cup preserves
  • 2 tbsp flour

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl stir together flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
  2. With a pastry blender or two knives use scissor style, cut in butter or margarine until coarse crumbs form.
  3. With a fork stir in corn syrup and egg just until mixed.
  4. Reserve 1/2 cup batter.
  5. Press remaining batter into a 9x9x2-inch baking pan.
  6. Spread with jam.
  7. Stir 2 tablespoons flour into the reserved batter.
  8. If preparing a lattice add a couple tablespoons of water - one at a time - to make the dough easy to roll out. If you are dropping the dough by spoonfulls then just evenly scatter the top crust over the jam for a spotty look and bake.
  9. On a floured surface roll out to 1/4-inch thickness.
  10. Cut into 1/4-inch wide strips.
  11. Lattice strips over jam.
  12. Bake in 375-degree oven 30 minutes, or until set. Cool.
  13. Cut into bars. Serving size is really up to you - cut into as many bars as you want.
