Step 1
1. First, you need to make the dough. I suggest letting a machine handle this, but it's quite easy to do by hand as well. Combine cold butter, sugar, 1 large (or 2 small) egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Add sifted flour, starch, salt, and baking powder. Knead until you have a smooth, soft dough.

2. Prepare a heatproof baking dish. Set aside about 2/3 of the dough and spread it evenly over the dish, forming edges. Place the dish in the refrigerator. Roll the remaining dough into a log (so it will be easier to decorate our jam pie at home later) and put it in the freezer.

3. Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Spread the jam evenly over the dough.

4. Take the dough you set aside in the freezer, slice it into thin pieces, place on top, and sprinkle lightly with sugar. Put the pan in the oven and bake the pie for about 20–25 minutes, until golden brown.

5. That's the whole secret of making a jam pie. Let it cool slightly — and it's ready to serve. By the way, if desired, you can top it with whipped cream.
