Jam Mazurkas Inspired By Mean Chef

---

I made mean chef's raspberry mazurkas this morning to take to my son's boy scout camp tomorrow - they are wonderful and i strongly urge you try them. having said that, i made a second batch with a number of my own 'tweaks' (and using apricot jam). the recipe has changed, but it is still really good. i hope you try this version, too.

Steps

---

Preaheat oven to 350f.

---

Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl.

---

Break up any clumps of sugar with your finger.

---

Add melted butter and egg and work with fingers to combine well.

---

Press half of dough in a foil-lined 15 x 10 inch pan , working well into edges and pressing down to compact.

---

Spread out jam of your choosing to within 1 / 2 inch of edges of pan - do not be tempted to use more jam than called for , the bars will be too sweet.

---

Take handfuls of remaining dough mixture and crumble it over pan , distributing evenly.

---

Press down with palms of hand to compact - but not too hard.

---

Bake until golden-brown.

---

50 minutes in my oven.

---

Cool completely before cutting.

Cut lengthwise into 4 even rows and crosswise into 6.
