1/2 lb cold butter
4-1/2 cups flour
4 tbsp sugar
1 egg
1-1/2 cup raspberry jam
2-1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp lemon juice
4-1/2 cups flour
4 tbsp sugar
1 egg
1-1/2 cup raspberry jam
2-1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp lemon juice

1 Combine chilled butter, flour, and sugar in bowl. Cut with two knives or pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Beat in egg, and work mixture with fork or fingers until smooth. Shape into ball, wrap, refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.
