About

Toward the end of summer Savoie markets offer the most delightful white raspberries, not unlike cloudberries. In the United States, do not hesitate to use those wonderful salmonberries from the West Coast if you can get them. If you use blueberries, choose wild huckleberries.

Ingredients

For the Pastry

1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into 1-tablespoon portions, very cold, plus ⅓ tablespoon

Method

To prepare the pastry, put the flour on a tabletop or board. Add the pieces of butter and mix together with your fingertips until the butter is the size of small peas. Mix together the water, salt, and the pinch of sugar and gradually add to the pastry without kneading. Fraise once only (see Quick Puff Pastry, following recipe.) Refrigerate, covered, 15 m
