Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened and cut into cubes
• 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (not thawed, if using frozen)

Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat oven to 350ºF.

2.In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter. Using a pastry cutter or fork, mix ingredients until well combined. Slowly stir in heavy cream; mix well. Add berries and mix gently until well combined; mixture will be dry.

3.Place dough on a cutting board and gently form into a loaf about 14" long by 4" wide and 1" thick. Press dough firmly together with your hands so it will hold together. Cut loaf into triangles and place on an ungreased baking sheet.

4.Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool 15 minutes before serving.
