Oh YUM! This goes straight into my Favorites of 2009 cookbook. They are exquisite and a very small piece (e.g., 2"x2") is entirely satisfying. I used a jelly roll pan with dimensions of 15" by 11" (rather than what I consider a 'normal' size of 18"x12"). I patted out about 2/3rds of the dough in it, put on the raspberries and dotted the rest of the dough over the top, then pressed lightly. The top dough spread nicely. It didn't completely cover the raspberries, but left some peeking out--which I thought was perfect. Thanks for sharing this...I'll make it again!
