    1       c            Flour
      1/2   ts           Cinnamon
      1/4   ts           Salt
      1/8   ts           Baking powder
      1/2   c            + 2 tb unsalted butter,
                         -softened
      2/3   c            Sugar
    1                    Egg
    6       oz           Chopped walnuts, ground
    1       t            Finely grated lemon zest
      1/2   c            Seedless raspberry jam
 
   Adjust rack to lower third of oven; preheat oven to
   325 degrees F. Sift the flour, cinnamon, salt and
   baking powder onto a strip of waxed paper.
   
   Combine the butter and sugar in a large bowl; beat
   until smooth. Add the egg and beat until well blended.
   Stir in flour mixture, nuts and lemon zest just until
   thoroughly blended.
   
   Divide dough in half. Using floured fingertips, pat
   half of the dough evenly into an ungreased 9-inch
   square baking pan. Spread jam evenly over the dough,
   stopping 1/2-inch from edges. Set aside.
   
   Roll the remaining dough between 2 pieces of waxed
   paper to a 9-inch square. Place on a baking sheet and
   refrigerate until firm. Cut dough into 14 strips, each
   1/2 inch wide. Evenly space 7 of the strips over the
   torte in one direction. Place remaining strips at
   right angles to the first strips, creating a lattice
   pattern. This technique is not actually weaving, but
   the results are just as impressive.
   
   Bake for 45 minutes, or until light golden. Cool
   completely before cutting into 2-inch squares.
   
   Yields 16 squares. PER SQUARE: 225 calories, 3 g
