Cooking 20 ~ 30 minutes
Serves: 12 ~ 16
Sourecs: Baking Cookbook
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups/300g all purpose flour
⅓ cup rice ground rice( see notes)/ ground blanched almonds or walnut
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground cloves
½ cup/ 100g sugar + extra to sprinkle
⅔ cup/ 150g cold salted butter or unsalted butter + ½ tsp salt
1 tbsp milk
1 cup/300g any fruit preserve ( jam) I used strawberry jam
Method:
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 400F/200C/gas 6. Line 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl combine all purpose flour, rice flour, cinnamon, cloves, sugar.

- Cut in the butter to the flour mixture until fine crumbs form.
- Stir in milk. Spoon three quarters of the dough into the prepared pan, pressing down firmly to form an even layer.
Cooking:

- Bake for 15 ~ 20 minutes, until firm and golden brown. Spread evenly with the fruit jam.
- sprinkle with remaining dough and extra sugar.
- Bake it for 5 ~ 10 minutes, until the topping is golden. Transfer to wire rack and cool completely in the pan. Cut and serve..

Notes: Dry fry the rice in a pan at medium heat until it changes color. Cool and grind it in a mixer or food processes to a coarse powder. Bake the bars for 5 more minutes to brown the crust. Almonds and walnut gives nice color then ground rice. I used ground rice for this recipe.
Suggestions:
Line your pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, leaving the edge of the foil above the rim of the pan on two opposite sides; grease foil in bottom of pan lightly. Bake bars as directed. When cool, use foil "handles" to remove the whole square from the pan.
