DIRECTIONS

In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. With a pastry blended cut the butter in to look like coarse crumbs. Gently fold the berries into the flour mixture. In a small bowl combine the cream, beaten egg, and vanilla; mix well. Add this to the flour mixture and stir till just combined; do not overmix. Knead dough gently on a lightly floured board being careful of the berries. Roll or pat into a circle that is about 7" round and about 1 1/2" thick. Cut the circle in half and each half into four pie-shaped wedges. Place on a baking sheet; brush the tops with egg wash. Bake in a 400-425 degree oven on the middle rack; to prevent browning on the bottom, place the cookie sheet on top of another cookie sheet; bake for about 20 minutes or till nicely browned. Best eaten the day they are made.
