Today we had about 15° to 17°C (60° F) and an overcast sky. The ideal conditions to bake something for the teatime.

We normally stand up early in the morning. To have some caffeine / theobromine in the afternoon gives us some energy for the rest of the day.
Although the strawberry season started, we decided to use some frozen raspberries that were left over from garnishing ice cream.
Ingredients:
50g butter
1 egg
100 g flour
35 g sugar
