Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups (250g) All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest
  • 1/2 cup (113g) Unsalted Butter
  • 1 cup Fresh Blackberries
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tablespoons Turbinado Sugar

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest.
  3. Add cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid mixture, folding gently.
  6. When the dough is shaggy, gently fold in the fresh blackberries.
  7. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
  8. Cut the dough into eight equal wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Brush the tops with extra heavy cream and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  10. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch.
  11. Cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Use fresh blackberries for best results. Ensure all ingredients are cold for a flaky texture. Store in an airtight container for up to two days.
