Raspberry Crumb Bars are made with flaky, buttery shortbread crust and flavorful fruity raspberry filling while lemon zest gives them a fresh taste. They are so simple to make that you don’t even need a rolling pin – just spread the half of the dough on the bottom of your pan, top with raspberry filling and grate the other half of the dough over it.

What kind of bread crumbs ? Thank you , Rosie
Just regular dry bread crumbs. Or you can use some leftover cookie crumbs or cake crumbs.
You said 1 lb of Raspberries. How many cups would this equal. I grow them for home use.
I would say about 4 cups.
