These attractive bars make a beautiful addition to any table. I like the fact that one batch goes a long way. Ingredients:
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup cold butter, cubed |
2 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
3/4 cup apricot preserves |
3/4 cup raspberry preserves |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. Combine eggs and vanilla; stir into crumb mixture until blended. Cover and refrigerate a fourth of the dough for at least 45 minutes.
2. Press remaining dough into an ungreased 15-in. x 10-in. 1-in. baking pan. Spread 1/4 cup apricot preserves in a 1-3/4-in. strip over one long side of crust. Spread 1/4 cup of raspberry preserves in a 1-3/4-in. strip adjoining the apricot strip. Repeat twice.
3. Roll out reserved dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut into 1/2-in. strips; make a lattice top. Bake at 325° for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire rack. Cut into bars. Yield: about 3-1/2 dozen.
