This recipe is super easy. Don't know where it came from but picked it up somewhere. It makes two batches roughly 7" round. They freeze really well. I often give them to my friends who rave about them. It's all in the ingredients!
Ingredients
2 cups
all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon
baking powder
½ teaspoon
salt
½ cup butter
(cold)
1 cup heavy
whipping cream
1 cup fruit
of your choice (cranberries & blueberries) work well.
Method
Place the
flour, salt and baking powder in a large bowl and mix with a fork to
distribute. Using a cheese grater, grate the butter (or cut into tiny pieces)
and add to flour mixture. Then add the cup of whipping cream and fruit of your
choice. You might have to add a little more cream to bind it all together.
Divide the mixture into two pieces and, with your hands, make into two patties
about 7” round and about ¾” in height. Cut into sections, pulling them gently apart
(so they can grow in the oven) and place on a greased baking sheet. Brush with
a little whipped cream and sprinkle a tiny amount (or not) before baking at 450
degrees for about 16-18 minutes. Remove when light brown and wait about 5 mins
to cool on tray before putting on the rack. Make an icing to drizzle with
confectioners’ sugar and a little water for a running consistency.
Note: I’ve
used every fruit in season or dried fruit such as cranberries, raisins,
blueberries, etc. I’ve also used fresh fruit such as blueberries, peaches,
chopped apples, cherries, etc. If using juicy fruits such as
strawberries/peaches…use less whipping cream.
