1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

-
In a large bowl stir together flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
With a pastry blender or two knives use scissor style, cut in butter or margarine until coarse crumbs form.
With a fork stir in corn syrup and egg just until mixed.
Reserve 1/2 cup batter.
Press remaining batter into a 9x9x2-inch baking pan.
spread with jam.
Stir 2 tablespoons flour into the reserved batter.
If preparing a lattice add a couple tablespoons of water - one at a time - to make the dough easy to roll out. If you are dropping the dough by spoonfulls then just evenly scatter the top \"crust\" over the jam for a \"spotty\" look and bake.
On a floured surface roll out to 1/4-inch thickness.
Cut into 1/4-inch wide strips.
Lattice strips over jam.
Bake in 375-degree oven 30 minutes, or until set. Cool.
Cut into bars. Serving size is really up to you - cut into as many bars as you want.
