Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter chilled
- 2 ounces cream cheese chilled
- 1/3 cup raspberries
- zest of one lemon
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons milk
Preparation
Preheat oven to 425°F. and prepare a baking sheet by placing a piece of parchment over it.
Sift flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder into a large bowl.
Using a pastry blender, or two knives, cut in butter and cream cheese until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Add egg, milk and raspberries and mix with a fork until everything comes together to form a soft dough.
Roll out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a circle about a 1/2-inch thick.
Cut into rounds with a 2-inch cookie or biscuit cutter.
Place onto prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart and bake for 12 minutes or until lightly golden.
Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool 1-2 minutes before serving warm.
