Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1 Egg beaten
  • 1 tablespoon Milk
  • 6 tablespoons Raspberry Jam
  • 1 Egg

Instructions
 

  • Start heating oven to 175 C / 350 F / Gas Mark 4.
  • Grease an 8 x 8 inch (20 x 20 cm) tin.
  • Crumble together the flour, baking powder and the 1/2 cup (4 oz / 115g) of butter. Beat the first egg with the milk, and mix into the crumble. Press into the greased tin to form a base.
  • Melt the 4 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave, let it cool a bit.

Notes

Instead of the raspberry jam, you can use raspberry pie filling.
This recipe dates to at least the early 1970s.
