Mix together: 1 1/2 c. flour + 1/2 c. brown sugar + 1/4 c. sugar + 1/2 tsp baking powder + 1/2 tsp salt + 1/2 tsp cinnamon.
When you have your mixture, add 1/2 c. butter or margarine and mix.
Add 1 egg and 1 tsp of almond essence (not extract).
Work the mixture with a fork.
Set apart 1/2 c. of this mixture and add 2 Tbsp of flour. Let it sit there.
Put the rest of the mixture in a square cake dish (9 inches) and cover it with rasberry jam (about 3/4 c.)
Now with the small amount of mixture that you put aside, add some water, enough so that it looks like a pie dough.
Make 12 strips out of that dough and place on top of your sidewalk sitting in your dish so it looks like… like nice.
Brush the strips with an egg yoke.
Finally, bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes.
