Step 2
Soak the dried cranberries (or dried blueberries) in water to plump them up (skip this step if using chocolate). Whisk the cream into the egg, and cut the butter into small pieces.
✅ Done when: The dried fruit is plumped, the egg and cream are whisked into a uniform liquid, and the butter is cut into small chunks.

Step 3
Add the butter to the dry mixture and rub it into the flour with your fingers.

Step 460 min

✅ Done when: The dough holds together, has chilled for 1 hour, and is divided into six pieces.
