Detailed Ingredients:
- All-purpose flour – 1 ½ cups
- Unsalted butter – ½ cup, softened
- Granulated sugar – ½ cup
- Raspberry jam – 1 cup
- Salt – ¼ teaspoon
- Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- Make the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, sugar, and flour. Mix until the ingredients form a crumbly dough.
- Press the Dough: Take about two-thirds of the dough mixture and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Ensure it’s packed tightly.
- Add Raspberries: Spread the raspberry preserves evenly over the pressed dough, making sure to cover it generously.
- Crumble the Remaining Dough: Take the remaining one-third of the dough mixture and crumble it over the raspberry layer. Try to evenly distribute the crumbles for a balanced topping.
- Bake the Bars: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Cool and Cut: Once done, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, lift it out using the parchment paper and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, cut into bars.
