How to Make Afternoon Tea Bars With Jam
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 13x9x2 inch baking pan using butter (or baking spray).
- In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups powdered sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat in 2 large egg whites until light and fluffy.
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt (sifted together). Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in 1 cup toasted nuts of your choice.
- Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
- Score the dough at least halfway through with a knife or the tines of a fork, creating straight lines or a swirly pattern.
- Spread ¾ cup of your first chosen jam evenly over the dough, ensuring it fills the scored lines.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the top is set. (Baking times may vary depending on your oven).
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, spread ½ cup of your second chosen jam evenly over the top. Sprinkle with ½ cup toasted, lightly tinted coconut flakes.
- Cut into bars and serve.
