Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup PLUS all-purpose flour

1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

16 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter -- (2 sticks) cut into small

pieces

1 teaspoon ice water -- if needed

1 cup jam -- such as raspberry, sour cherry or apricot

2 cups granulated sugar

2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

4 eggs -- beaten

3/4 cup lemon juice

 

Preheat an oven to 350°F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Place the 1 3/4 cups

flour, 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse to

blend. Add the butter and process until the dough begins to form a ball, adding

the ice water if necessary.

 

Press the dough evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake until

the crust is lightly golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool for at least 30 minutes,

then evenly spread the jam over the crust.

 

In a bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, the remaining 1/3 cup flour and

the lemon zest. Place the eggs in a large bowl and slowly add the flour mixture,

beating with an electric mixer until well blended, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the lemon

juice and mix to combine.

 

Pour the lemon mixture carefully over the raspberry jam layer, making sure to

keep layers separate. Bake until the lemon topping is just set, 25 to 30

minutes. Let cool in the pan. Dust with confectioners’ sugar and cut into

squares with a serrated knife. Place in a covered container and keep cool until

ready to serve.
