Raspberry Squares

Delicious Raspberry Squares

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup of fresh raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish, and trust me, we don’t want any sticky situations here!
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Then, add the softened butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Your hands might turn into cookie dough monsters, but that’s part of the fun!
  3. Press the dough into the bottom of the greased baking dish. Make sure it’s even, or your squares might end up looking like they took a tumble down the stairs!
  4. In a separate bowl, toss the fresh raspberries with the cornstarch. Add in the vanilla extract and mix gently. Now, resist the urge to eat all the berries. They’re for the squares!
  5. Distribute the raspberry mixture evenly over the crust. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the top is golden brown and your kitchen smells like heaven.
  6. Once out of the oven, let them cool completely. If you can resist cutting them before they’re cool—kudos to you!
  7. Finally, dust the cooled squares with powdered sugar before slicing into them. Voilà! You’re now the proud creator of delicious Raspberry Squares.

Serve these beauties at your next gathering, or keep them all for yourself—no judgment here! Enjoy the deliciously tart kick of raspberries mingled with a crumbly, buttery base. Happy baking!
