Categories     dessert

Time 38m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups (10 ounces/315 grams) all-purpose (plain) flour
1/2 cup (4 ounces/125 grams) sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
1/2 teaspoon of salt
6 tablespoons (3 ounces/90 grams) chilled butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup (8 ounces/250 grams) sour cream
1 egg
1 quart (1 pound/500 grams) mixed berries such as blackberries, blueberries, strawberries and/or raspberries
1 to 2 tablespoons sugar, or to taste
1/2 cup (4 fluid ounces/125 milliliters) heavy (double) cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (essence)

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet. Set aside.
  • To make the shortcakes, in a bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using 2 knives or a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in the sour cream and egg until moistened. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and pat into a rough circle (the dough will be sticky). Working with about one-sixth of the dough at a time, shape into rough balls and place about 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 18 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the berries: if using strawberries, slice them. In a bowl, combine the fruit with sugar to taste. Stir, then let stand until ready to use.
  • Remove the shortcakes from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet on a rack. In a bowl, whip the cream with the vanilla until it holds soft peaks. To serve, split each pancake in half horizontally with your fingers and place a bottom half on each of 6 individual plates. Top generously with the sugared berries and whipped cream. Replace the top half and serve.

STRAWBERRY SOUR CREAM STREUSEL CAKE



Strawberry Sour Cream Streusel Cake image

This strawberry streusel cake is the perfect end to a summer meal. But here's the interesting thing: Eat it slightly warm and it's dessert; let it get cold, and it makes a great coffee cake for breakfast the next day. The cake is slightly tricky to assemble, and at some point it may look like a mess. But everything comes together in the pan as it bakes, resulting in a tender, fragrant cake. This isn't a recipe to embark on at the end of a long workday. Save it for the weekend.
