2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 qt. raspberries (or blueberries)

Sift flour, salt, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon together. Beat butter until creamy; combine with flour mixture to make smooth dough. Add 2 beaten eggs; mix well. Chill dough 1-2 hours. Roll out to 1/8 inch thickness or spread with wooden spoon in 8 inch greased layer cake pan. Cover bottom and sides with pastry; crimp decorative edge around top.
