Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose bleached flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
5 tablespoons sugar, divided
½ cup butter, frozen
1 egg, beaten
1 egg white
½ cup cold half-and-half
1 (16 ounce) package unsweetened frozen raspberries, blackberries, blueberries or strawberries, thawed and crushed
12 ounces fresh raspberries, blackberries or blueberries (rinsed and patted dry), or strawberries (hulled and sliced)
7 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 cup chilled heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat to 425 degrees. Mix flour, salt, baking powder and 3 Tbs. sugar in a medium bowl. Grate 2 Tbs. of the butter on the coarse holes of a box grater into dry ingredients; toss to coat. Repeat grating and tossing with remaining butter. Combine egg and half-and-half; pour into flour mixture. Toss with a fork to form large clumps. Lightly press clumps into a ball; add a teaspoon more half-and-half to the bowl if dough won't come together.
  • Turn dough onto work surface; press into an 8-by-4- to 5-inch rectangle. Cut into 6 squares, placing them 1 inch apart on a small baking sheet. (Can be refrigerated up to 2 hours before baking.) Before baking, brush tops with optional egg white for a particularly attractive sheen. Sprinkle with remaining 2 Tbs. sugar. Bake until golden brown, about 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool until warm, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Mix thawed and fresh berries with sugar in a bowl; let stand until sugar dissolves. With a hand mixer, beat cream to soft peaks, gradually adding 1 Tb. sugar, then vanilla.
  • Split each cake crosswise; spoon a portion of berries over each cake bottom, then a dollop of whipped cream over berries. Cap with cake top and serve immediately.

MIXED BERRY SHORTCAKE

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) cold butter, cut into pieces
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 pints mixed berries (including strawberries)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
Zest and juice of 1 small orange
1 cup cold heavy cream
7 ounces plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • For the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Add the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt to the bowl of a food processor (or a large bowl). Add the butter pieces and pulse until the butter is completely cut into the flour mixture (or use a pastry cutter if using a bowl). Combine the buttermilk and vanilla in a measuring cup and while pulsing (or stirring) the dough, drizzle in the buttermilk mixture until the dough just comes together and is no longer crumbly.
  • Drop the mixture in 8 clumps between 2 baking sheets, then bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool completely.
  • For the berries: Wash the berries, slice the strawberries and transfer to a bowl. Sprinkle on the granulated sugar, then add the orange zest and juice. Stir gently, then set aside for 15 to 20 minutes to allow a syrup to develop.
  • For the sweet yogurt cream: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the cream, yogurt, granulated sugar and brown sugar on high until stiff. (Note: It won't get quite as stiff as regular whipped cream.)
  • To serve, lay one biscuit on a plate, top with syrupy fruit, then top with a good spoonful of cream.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh berries, frozen berries will work well too. Just thaw them before using.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To make the biscuits 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 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
  • To make the berry sauce ahead of time, simply combine the berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the berries have softened and the sauce has thickened. Let it cool completely before storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • When you're ready to serve the shortcake, simply split the biscuits in half and top with the berry sauce and whipped cream. You can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt for an extra special treat.

Razzle Dazzle Berry Shortcake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that's perfect for any occasion.
