Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 cups cranberry sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 0.75 cup butter or margarine

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until lumps are no larger than peas. Stir in beaten egg lightly, allowing flour mixture to stay somewhat crumbly.

Step 3

Sprinkle 1/2 of the flour mixture in an even layer in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pack down into a solid crust. Spread cranberry sauce over crust. Crumble remaining flour mixture over cranberry sauce.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, about 40 minutes. Cool completely before slicing into 15 bars.
