Number Of Ingredients 13

3 3/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
4 teaspoon(s) sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1 1/2 cup(s) cold butter
1/2-1 cup(s) cold water
FOR THE FILLING
2 cup(s) sugar
2/3 cup(s) all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
8 cup(s) fresh or frozen unsweetened raspberries
1 tablespoon(s) lemon juice
5 teaspoon(s) heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon(s) coarse sugar

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Divide dough in half so that one portion is slightly larger than the other; wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1-1/4 hours or until easy to handle.
Preheat oven to 375°. Roll out larger portion of dough between two large sheets of waxed paper into a 17x12-in. rectangle. Transfer to an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Press pastry onto the bottom and up the sides of pan; trim pastry even with edges. For filling, in a large bowl, combine sugar, flour and salt. Add raspberries and lemon juice; toss to coat. Spoon over pastry.
Roll out remaining pastry; place over filling. Trim and seal edges. Cut slits in pastry. Brush top with cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into squares.
