Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 c Flour
1/2 c Sugar
4 ts Baking powder
1 t Salt
8 tb Butter, chilled
2 Eggs
1/2 c Raspberry jam/preserves or
1/2 c Strawberry jam/preserves

2 tb Strawberry jam

Servings: 18

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x5x3-inch loaf
pan. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt
in a large mixing bowl. Stir with a fork to mix all
dry ingredients well. Cut the butter into small pieces
and drop into the flour mixture. Using your fingers or
a pastry cutter, rub or cut the cold butter into the
flour until mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs.
Beat the eggs well in a small bowl, add the jam or
preserves and milk; whisk until the mixture is blended
smooth. Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture
and stir only until no flour streaks show--the mixture
wil be lumpy. Spoon into the loaf pan and bake for
about 1 hour 15 minutes, or until a straw inserted
into the center comes out clean. Allow loaf to remain
in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes before turning it out
onto a rack. Meanwhile, make the glaze by combining
the butter, sugar, and jam in a pan. Stir and bring to
a simmer; continue stirring until dissolved and
blended. Strain and then spoon the glaze over the loaf
after it has cooled on the rack.
