Ingredients
The Filling:
- 3 ¼ cups fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ¼ - ⅓ cup granulated sugar depends on the sweetness of the berries
- 2 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
The Base and Topping:
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 cups flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 11 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- ⅔ cup sliced almonds roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 8x8-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
The Filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the raspberries, lemon juice, sugar and cornstarch. Set aside.
- The base and topping:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine granulated and brown sugars. Stir in flour, baking powder, salt, and ground ginger.
- Cut in cold butter pieces with a pastry cutter or a fork until the mixture is crumbly. Stir a lightly beaten egg and sliced almonds into the flour mixture.
- Press half of the flour mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread the raspberry mixture over the crust. Sprinkle the rest of the flour mixture over the raspberries.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is light brown. Left the bars cool on a rack and then place in the fridge to chill. This will make the bars easier to cut and remove from the pan. Cut into squares and serve.
