DIRECTIONS

Cream butter and sugar. Add remaining ingredients. Mix well. Cut dough in two parts, leaving enough for lattice strips. Spread dough in two 14-inch shallow pans (use floured hands or roll out) and cover with preferred jam. Roll out leftover dough, cut long strips and place crisscrossed over jam. Bake at 350 degrees 45 minutes. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar when cool. --Mrs. Daniel Cikra, Cleveland Heights.
