3/4 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour, can substitute self-rising flour omit the baking powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups coconut, medium unsweetened

Sift in the flour and baking powder.
Stir in the coconut.
Pat 3/4 of the dough onto the bottom and up the sides of a sprayed 9 x 11 shiny pan.
Spread with jam - the amount is up to you whether you wish to use less than a cup or more.
Sprinkle (or grate) the remaining dough over top.
Bake for 35 minutes - until golden brown - depending on your oven.
Remove from oven - use a pizza cutter to cut into squares, bars or diamonds and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
