Raspberry Squares

Raspberry Squares are sweet, chewy and dead easy to make. No, there's no Irish Cream in this recipe, but I may have had a sip while baking.

Also, it was St Patricks Day.

1 cup flour
1 Tbsp milk
1 egg
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup butter


Mix the ingredients together like a pie dough; stir the dry ingredients together, cut in the butter, then stir in the egg and milk. Press it into a square glass pan.
Spread a thin layer of jam on top. Raspberry is classic, but really, use whatever you have. My mom made some kiwi jam and it was St Patricks Day so that's what I used. I was disappointed that they didn't look greener in the end, but they were really delicious.
Wait. I didn't tell you about the topping yet.

1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup coconut
1/4 cup melted butter
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
Mix well and carefully smear over top of the jam layer. Bake for 25 minutes @350F















I love cooking for people who love to eat. And he's so cute. :)
