Steps
Sequence Step
2In separate bowl, use a wire whisk to mix the flour, salt and baking powder. Add it to the mixer bowl slowly, beating on low.
3Spread 2/3 of the dough in a prepared pan (see last step). Press down evenly. Then spread the 1 and a half cups of strawberry jam (recipe says 24 TB. because software won''t allow jam to be measured by the cup) evenly over the layer of peanut butter dough.
4Crumble or dollop the remaining 1/3 of peanut butter mixture across the top of the jam.
5Chop the salted peanuts and sprinkle over all.
6Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
7To prepare the 9X13 pan, put a little butter in the bottom to hold parchment paper in place. Lay paper over bottom of pan lengthwise, with overlap coming up the sides and extending beyond the top edges. Then lay another piece (or 2 overlapping if necessary) going the other direction. Hold the overlapping parchment onto the pan with metal alligator clips. Brush melted butter over the paper. Then sprinkle flour over bottom and sides of pan. Set aside while you make the batter.
