Raspberry Squares

Great raspberry squares with a coconut topping.

Bottom Layer:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup cold butter, cut up
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon milk
2/3 cup raspberry jam
..
Topping:
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
2 cups sweetened shredded coconut

Preheat oven to 350 and grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, stir together flour and baking powder. Cut in butter
pieces with a pastry blender until coarse crumbs have formed. Gradually
stir in lightly beaten eggs with a wooden spoon. Add milk; stir until
all ingredients are moist and a soft dough has formed. Spread dough
into the pan, pressing with fingers to reach edges of pan. Spread
raspberry jam evenly over dough.
Mix together topping ingredients; spread carefully over jam layer.
Bake at 350 for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until topping is lightly
browned. Cool completely in pan on rack. Cut raspberry bars into
squares.
