  • To make the shortcakes ahead of time, bake them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze them for up to 2 months.
  • To assemble the shortcakes, simply split them in half and top with whipped cream, blackberries, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
