Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold)
- 0.75 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Strawberries (sliced)
- 1 cups Blueberries
- 1 cups Raspberries
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 2 cups Whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently press it together. Pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
Use a round cutter to cut out shortcake rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather and re-roll the scraps as necessary.
Brush the tops of the shortcakes with a bit of heavy cream and sprinkle with granulated sugar, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the shortcakes are golden brown.
While the shortcakes are baking, prepare the berries. In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and powdered sugar. Toss gently and let sit for at least 10 minutes to macerate.
Once baked, allow the shortcakes to cool slightly. Slice each shortcake in half horizontally.
To assemble, place the bottom half of a shortcake on a serving plate. Spoon some of the berry mixture over it, followed by a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Top with the other half of the shortcake and add an additional spoonful of berries and whipped cream on top.
Repeat with the remaining shortcakes. Serve immediately and enjoy your Verrrry Berrrry Shortcake!
