Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven & Pan: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20x30cm (8x12in) pan with parchment paper.
  2. Make Shortbread Dough: Cream butter and 80g powdered sugar, then mix in flours and salt.
  3. Press Base Layer: Press two-thirds of the dough into the prepared pan.
  4. Make Raspberry Swirl: Combine almond butter, jam, 30g powdered sugar, lemon juice, and salt.
  5. Swirl & Top: Drop swirl over base and create ribbons; crumble remaining dough on top.
