RASPBERRY PALMIERS

Steps:

• Pulse flour and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add sour cream and pulse until mixture holds together when pinched. Knead dough on a work surface to bring together, then flatten into an 8-by-6-inch rectangle. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle half of mixture evenly on work surface. Let dough stand at room temperature until pliable. Cut in half; place one half of dough on sugared surface. With a floured rolling pin, roll into a 14-inch square. Spread half of jam onto dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border all around. Starting from one side, tightly roll dough toward center, incorporating sugar. Repeat, rolling other side to meet first roll in middle. Freeze 15 minutes.
• With a serrated knife, cut dough crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. (Refrigerate dough as needed if it gets too soft to slice.) Arrange slices 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets.
• Bake 10 minutes. Carefully flip palmiers with an offset spatula and bake until golden, about 6 minutes more. Let cool on sheets 1 minute, then transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely. Repeat with remaining sugar mixture and dough. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container, between sheets of waxed paper, up to 1 week.

Mix in the whipped cream until the mixture is moistened and just forms a ball. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead briefly just to bring the dough together.
• Form the dough into a log then use a rolling pin to roll it out into a long rectangle about 1-inch thick and 3 inches wide. Making diagonal strokes with a sharp knife, cut into 4 or 6 large triangular biscuits. Arrange on a sheet pan and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
• When ready to serve, split the biscuits in half horizontally. Place the bottoms on serving plates. On each, place a spoonful of raspberries with the syrup that has collected in the bowl, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkling of brown sugar. Place the top halves of the biscuits on top.
