Shortbread Pie with Raspberry Jam

Ingredients

2 eggs

1 cup sugar

200 g butter

3 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla

200 g raspberry jam

80 g raspberries

Mix the butter and sugar, add the eggs and vanilla, and mix thoroughly. Mix the flour with the baking powder and gradually add, stirring constantly, until you have a soft dough.

Divide the dough into 2 pieces, one half twice the size of the other. Wrap the smaller piece in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer while you work with the larger piece.

Grease a baking pan and preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the larger portion of the dough in the pan and use your hands to spread it evenly, creating a border along the bottom. Once the dough is spread, pierce the bottom with a fork in several places, then mix the jam with the cherries or raspberries and spoon into the pan, spreading it evenly with a spoon.

Remove the frozen dough from the freezer and grate it over the jam using a coarse grater, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle with sugar on top if desired, but this is optional, unless you have a sweet tooth. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Enjoy!
