Cook this recipe

  • all-purpose flour-2 1/2 cups
  • unsalted butter-1 cup
  • raspberry jam-1 cup
  • large egg yolk-1 each
  • granulated sugar-3/4 cup
  • sliced almonds-1/2 cup
  • powdered sugar-2 tablespoons
  • vanilla extract-1 teaspoon
  • lemon zest-1 teaspoon
  • ground cinnamon-1 teaspoon
  • fine salt-1/2 teaspoon
1
Preheat and prepare the pan
Parchment paper
9-inch square baking pan
Microplane grater

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line the pan with parchment, leaving overhang on two sides. Grate the lemon zest if needed and set out the softened butter.

1 teaspoon lemon
1 cup butter
2
Cream the butter mixture
Measuring cups and spoons
Wooden spoon
Mixing bowls

In a bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar with a wooden spoon until creamy, about 2 minutes. Mix in the egg yolk, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth.

1 cup butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 Each egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon
3
Make the spiced dough
Wooden spoon
Rubber spatula
Mixing bowls

Add all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and fine salt to the butter mixture. Stir until a soft, crumbly dough forms and no dry flour remains.

Avoid tasting the raw dough because it contains raw egg yolk and raw flour.

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
4
Form the bottom crust
Rubber spatula
9-inch square baking pan

Reserve about 1 cup of dough for the topping. Press the remaining dough firmly into the pan in an even bottom layer, reaching the corners.

5
Add the raspberry layer
Butter knife

Spread the raspberry jam over the dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edges to reduce bubbling over.

1 cup raspberry jam
6
Build the lattice topping

Pinch small pieces of the reserved dough into thin strips and lay them over the jam in a loose Linzer-style lattice. Sprinkle with sliced almonds and gently press them into the dough strips.

1/2 cup almonds
7
Bake the bars
9-inch square baking pan

Bake for 32 to 38 minutes, until the edges are deep golden and the jam is bubbling lightly near the center.

Use oven mitts when handling the hot baking pan.

8
Cool completely
Parchment paper
Wire cooling rack
9-inch square baking pan

Cool completely and let the jam fully set before cutting. Leave the pan on a rack for at least 1 hour, lift out with parchment and allow about 30 minutes more, or longer if still warm or loose.

Let the bars cool fully before cutting so hot jam does not spill.

9
Dust and cut
Fine-mesh sieve
Sharp knife

Dust lightly with powdered sugar. Use a sharp knife to cut into 16 even bars, wiping the blade between cuts for clean edges.

Keep fingers clear of the blade when slicing the finished bars.

2 tablespoons powdered sugar
