Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

For shortcakes
2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup whole milk
1 large egg
1/4 cup chilled sour cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg yolk beaten with 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)
Additional sugar
For fruit
6 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 20-ounce can pineapple slices in juice, drained well, patted dry, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
2 large bananas, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
Butter pecan ice cream

Steps:

  • Make shortcakes:
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 425°F. Line large baking sheet with parchment. Sift first 5 ingredients into large bowl. Rub in butter with fingertips until mixture resembles very coarse meal. Mix in pecans. Whisk milk, 1 egg, sour cream and vanilla in small bowl to blend. Add to flour mixture and toss just until evenly moistened. Using about 1/2 cup dough per shortcake, drop dough onto prepared sheet in 6 mounds. Using floured hands, shape each mound into ball and return to sheet. Brush each with some egg glaze, then sprinkle with additional sugar.
  • Bake shortcakes until golden and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Rewarm in 350¡F oven 10 minutes before assembling.)
  • Make fruit:
  • Whisk sugar and butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until butter melts and mixture forms dark caramel sauce, about 4 minutes. Add pineapple and bananas; stir gently until fruit is heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
  • Cut shortcakes horizontally in half; place bottoms on 6 plates. Top each with ice cream, then with fruit. Lean shortcake tops against ice cream and serve.

Not bad! The shortcakes were a bit dry, but the ice cream and caramelized pineapple and bananas helped to make up for it.

These shortcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

Not a fan. The shortcakes were bland and the caramelized pineapple and bananas were too sweet. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

These shortcakes were a bit dry, but the caramelized pineapple and bananas were delicious. I think I would add a little more butter to the shortcake batter next time.

These butter pecan shortcakes were a hit! The combination of the flaky biscuits, creamy ice cream, and caramelized pineapple and bananas was heavenly. I especially loved the crunch of the pecans in the shortcakes.
