Gluten Free Jam Slice

Cut into wedges, or into square slices

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond meal flour 
• 1/2 cup brown rice flour
• 1/2 cup white rice flour
• (NOTE: For those not cooking gluten free, use 2 cups plain flour)
• 1 cup caster sugar
• 125g butter, chilled, cubed
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 3/4 cup raspberry jam
• 2 cups desiccated coconut

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180C. Line a 3cm deep lamington pan.
2. Process flour, 1/2 cup sugar and butter to resemble breadcrumbs. Add 1 egg and vanilla. Process to form a dough.
3. Press dough into base of prepared pan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until light golden. Spread jam over warm base.
4. Whisk remaining eggs and remaining 1/2 cup sugar together. Stir in coconut. Spread over jam. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden. Cool completely in pan. Cut into pieces.
   
   
   *Note: The dough may be a little 'wet' due to the almond flour. You may like to add extra rice flour if you do not want an easily breakable or soft base.
   
   

   

   The base should not crumble, so make sure you pack it into the pan well
