Raspberry Squares

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1 1/4 cups good-quality raspberry jam

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar, then add the egg yolk and mix well. Add the flour and walnuts and blend well, but keep the mixture a bit crumbly.

Put half the mixture into a greased 13 by 9-inch baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes, and then remove the pan from the oven. Spread the jam evenly over the top, leaving about 1/4-inch from the sides. Crumble the remaining dough evenly over the jam and pat lightly. Bake for another 20 minutes. Do not cut until the dish is cooled. Serve after cooling.
