Baking tray size: 16 x 12 in (40.64 x 30.48 cm). Mayonnaise is optional.

Ingredients:

• sugar	0.5 cup
• All-purpose flour	2.5 cup
• baking powder	1 teaspoon
• cold butter, cut into pieces	125 g
• mayonnaise	1 tablespoon
• egg	1
• jam	1 cup

1. In a mixer bowl, mix flour, soda and sugar.

2. Add butter and mix well on low speed for about 5 minutes.

3. Add the egg and mix on low speed for 5 more minutes.

4. Preheat oven to 375F (190C).

5. Line the baking tray with parchment paper.

6. Spread 3/4 of the dough evenly over the parchment and lightly press the dough with your hands.

7. Spread the jam on top of the dough. (If the jam is very thick, it can be warmed up and this way it will be easier to distribute.)

8. Sprinkle the remaining dough crumbs on top.

9. Bake 18-20 minutes. Place on a cutting board and cut into squares while still hot. Cool on a wire rack.
