Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
-
Add the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a small bowl, beat the egg and vanilla extract together. Pour the mixture into the dry ingredients and butter, and stir until the dough comes together.
-
Divide the dough in half. Take the first half and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking sheet to form a crust.
-
Spread the jam over the top of the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
-
Crumble the remaining dough on the top of the jam layer, creating a streusel-like topping.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
-
Once baked, remove the Lizzies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes.
-
Transfer the Lizzies to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, you can dust them with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
