Recipe - Ciambela With Summer Berry Compote

1 pt Blueberries
1 pt Blackberries
1 pt Raspberries
Juice of One half lemon
3 tablespoon Sugar
2 cup Allpurpose flour
One half cup Sugar
One half teaspoon Baking powder
8 tablespoon Cold sweet butter, cut into
1/2inch dice; plus 1 tabl
1 lg Egg
1 teaspoon Almond extract
One fourth cup Cold milk

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a medium saucepan, combine berries, lemon juice and sugar. Place over
medium heat and cook until just boiling, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from
heat and allow to cool.

Place flour, sugar and baking powder in a food processor and pulse quickly
to blend. Add cold butter and pulse quickly until mixture resembles fine
bread crumbs. In a separate bowl, beat egg, almond extract and milk until
smooth. With food processor going, add liquid all at once and blend 10 to
15 seconds, until just forming a ball. Remove dough from processor to a
wellfloured cutting board. Shape the dough into a log about 14 inches long
and 1One half inches tall. Grease a cookie sheet with the remaining 1
tablespoon butter and lay the log in a round in center. Place in a
preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until light golden brown.
Remove and allow to cool to room temperature. Cut into slices about 1inch
thick, top with 2 tablespoons of berry compote and serve.
