Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup white sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 cups cranberry sauce
• ¾ 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 the sugar, flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter or margarine until the lumps are no larger than peas. Stir in the egg just a little bit, but allow the mixture to stay somewhat crumbly.

Step 3

Sprinkle half of the mixture in an even layer in the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan. Pack down into a solid crust. Spread the cranberry sauce over the crust. Crumble the remaining mixture over the cranberry sauce.

Step 4

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