Introduction

An "easy-pastry" flan, using frozen raspberries (so great for all year 'round). Light and delicious. Got this out of our newspaper. Love those recipes that are short, but give great results. Hope you like it!

Whirl the flour, sugar and baking powder together in a food processor. Add the butter (in chunks), the vanilla and the egg. Process until the consistency of shortbread (should be well mixed and smooth).

Using the back of a metal spoon, pat into the bottom of a greased 10-inch spring form pan.

Spread the frozen berries over the base.

In the same processor bowl, mix the sour cream, sugar, egg and vanilla.

Spread evenly over berries.

Bake in 350 F (180C) oven for about one hour.
