2. 3/4 cup granulated sugar
3. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
4. 3/4 cup butter cut into cubes
5. 3 large eggs
6. 5 tbs jam or preserves

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°

3. In a food processor, blend together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and butter until dough is crumbly. Add the eggs and blend until just combined. OR  In a large bowl add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt, stir to combine, add the cubes of butter and use your hands to work the butter into the dry ingredients, do so by rubbing the flour mixture and the butter together. Once the butter and flour mixture reaches a crumbly consistency add in the eggs and combine until the dough just comes together.
4.  Press the dough into the prepared pan making sure to leave enough dough to be used for the topping.
5. Spread the jam over the dough leaving a 1/2-in. border around the edge.
