Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons white sugar
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
½ cup buttermilk
¼ cup 2% low-fat milk
1 pint fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried
4 fresh apricots, pitted and sliced
½ pound cherries, pitted and halved
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, divided
¾ cup whipping cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture; pour in the buttermilk and milk, and mix just until the dough gathers together. Do not overwork. Cover the bowl, and allow dough to rest 10 to 15 minutes. Roll or pat the dough into 6 rounds, each about 3 inches in diameter. Place on prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in preheated oven until puffed and golden, about 15 minutes. Place on a rack and cool to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, combine the blueberries, apricots, and cherries in a bowl. Toss to blend and set aside.
  • Beat the whipping cream in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Stir in 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar; continue beating until stiff peaks form. Split the shortcakes in half and place the bottom halves on 6 serving plates. Spoon whipped cream over each half, top with fruit, and place a shortcake top on each. Dust tops with remaining 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shortcakes were a disaster. The biscuits were like hockey pucks and the fruit filling was more like soup. I guess I'll have to try again.

These shortcakes were okay. They weren't as good as I was hoping for. The biscuits were a bit too dense and the fruit filling was a bit bland.

I followed the recipe exactly and my shortcakes turned out terrible. The biscuits were hard and the fruit filling was runny. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These shortcakes were good, but not great. The biscuits were a little dry and the fruit filling was a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These shortcakes were a bit more work than I expected, but they were worth it. The biscuits were light and fluffy, and the fruit filling was bursting with flavor. I will definitely be making these again for special occasions.

I'm not a big baker, but these shortcakes were so easy to make. I used a store-bought biscuit mix and they still turned out great. The fruit filling was delicious and the shortcakes were the perfect addition to our summer picnic.
