I adopted this recipe from Recipezaar in August 2006. I haven't tried the recipe, but I hope to very soon. Here is what the original poster said about this recipe: "You can take one of two approaches for the top crust here - a lattice top is more traditional and a little more work - the dough can be a little crumbly so you need to add a little water to roll it out. You can skip the lattice and simply crumble the top crust dough over the jam and bake. It will look more like a cobbler. Either way will taste just fine!"

Time 1h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cups unsifted flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, Ground
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1/4 cup dark corn syrup
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup raspberry jam or 1/2 cup preserves
2 tablespoons flour

Steps:

  • In a large bowl stir together flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
  • With a pastry blender or two knives use scissor style, cut in butter or margarine until coarse crumbs form.
  • With a fork stir in corn syrup and egg just until mixed.
  • Reserve 1/2 cup batter.
  • Press remaining batter into a 9x9x2-inch baking pan.
  • spread with jam.
  • Stir 2 tablespoons flour into the reserved batter.
  • 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.
  • On a floured surface roll out to 1/4-inch thickness.
  • Cut into 1/4-inch wide strips.
  • Lattice strips over jam.
  • Bake in 375-degree oven 30 minutes, or until set. Cool.
  • Cut into bars. Serving size is really up to you - cut into as many bars as you want.
