Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. Incorporate the egg and lemon zest, mixing until smooth.
  4. Mix flour and baking powder separately, then gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush them.
  6. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes if it's too sticky.
