Preparation

Step 1

In a mixing bowl stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and granulated sugar; mix in oatmeal. Cut in butter until mixture forms coarse crumbs. Beat egg and milk. Gradually add egg mixture to flour mixture, mixing until well blended. Spread about half of the dough in a greased, paper-lined or nonstick 8-inch square baking pan. Spread evenly with jam. Drop remaining dough evenly by spoonfuls over jam. Bake at 375° until well browned, 35 to 40 min. Cut into bars, about 1½-by-2½-inches while still warm. Sift lightly with powdered sugar.
