Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour (1 1/4 cups)
  • Granulated sugar (2 tablespoons, plus more for sprinkling)
  • Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Unsalted butter (6 tablespoons, cold and cubed)
  • Ice water (3-4 tablespoons)
  • Raspberries (2 cups, fresh or frozen)
  • Cornstarch (1 tablespoon)
  • Lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
  • Egg (1, beaten (for egg wash))
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
  2. Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix gently until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. In a separate bowl, gently toss the raspberries with cornstarch and lemon juice until well coated.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.
  8. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Arrange the raspberry mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a border of about 2 inches.
  10. Fold the edges of the dough over the raspberries, pleating as necessary to create a beautiful rustic edge.
  11. Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg for a golden crust.
  12. Sprinkle additional granulated sugar over the exposed crust for added sweetness and crunch.
  13. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the raspberries are bubbling.
  14. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar.
  15. Serve warm or at room temperature. For an extra treat, pair with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
