Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- Zest and juice of 2 fresh lemons
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and sugar. Cut in the cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Incorporate the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the milk alongside the lemon juice and zest. Slowly add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Add the berries: Fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to overmix.
- Roll it out: Lightly flour a clean surface and turn out the dough. Gently knead it a few times until smooth, then roll it into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.
- Shape the rolls: Cut the rectangle into smaller strips—about 1 inch wide. Roll each strip into a spiral, tucking the ends under for a neat appearance.
- Bake: Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with a little melted butter, and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool and serve: Allow the rolls to cool on a wire rack. Drizzle with a simple lemon glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice, if desired.
Notes
