"This delicious slice can be be found at almost every church gathering and community events in our little community, much like the Date Matrimonial Squares a must on the serving tray here on the prairies. A great 'bake and take' recipe. This recipe shared and has made many of my coffee and dessert times special for family and friends. The first time making had me a little intimidated, but don't be - it is easily put together and a snap to make. If taking to a potluck expect no left overs to take back home! (over time the disappointed faces now sees to a second stashed in the pantry just for them!)"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
FILLING, over medium heat bring raisins and water to boil, simmer two minutes, stir in sugar.
Step 2
Dissolve the cornstarch in the 2 tablespoons water, add to raisin mix to thicken, may use a little more cornstarch if needed, to thicken the filling
Step 3
When thickened remove from heat, add the lemon juice and the tablespoon butter, cool.
Step 4
BASE AND TOP MIXTURE, in large mixing bowl add the flour, sugar, Baking Powder and mix with a whisk.
Step 5
Cut in the margarine. Stir in the small egg with a fork, mix together
Step 6
ASSEMBLE, in a 9x9 pan spread a little over half of the Base And Top mixture in pan, reserving the rest for the top
Step 7
Spread the cooled raisin filling over the base. Put the remainder of the Base and Top mix over raisin filling, at this point it may look a little'messy' (I find dropping bits all over the top and use the palm of my hand to even it out a bit works well for me)
Step 8
Not to worry when you see raisin filling here and there as this spreads as it bakes
Step 9
Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of sugar over the top, bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes (until nicely browned). Note, I often make double the filling, make up one and a half times the base and bake in a 9x13 pan when baking for a crowd.
