How to Make Syltkokosrutor Finnish Jam And Coconut Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  7. While the pastry bakes, prepare the coconut topping. In a medium saucepan, combine the shredded coconut, sugar, milk, flour, and vanilla extract.
  8. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and is slightly runny. Do not boil!
  9. Remove the pastry from the oven. Spread the jam evenly over the warm crust.
  10. Pour the coconut mixture over the jam and spread evenly with a spatula.
  11. Sprinkle with sliced almonds.
  12. Return to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the topping is lightly browned and set.
  13. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
