Best 11 Blackberry And Rhubarb Shortcake Recipes

STRAWBERRY AND RHUBARB SHORTCAKES

Steps:

• For the macerated strawberries: Combine the strawberries and sugar in a medium bowl. Toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours.
• For the shortcakes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and pepper if using. Using a bowl scraper or your fingers, work in the butter until the mixture resembles a coarse meal (using your fingers will create a more cake-like texture). Add the rhubarb and toss to coat; make a well in the center. Combine the 1/2 cup milk, the cream and the vanilla, and pour this into the well. Mix just until combined.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead 5 or 6 times, then roll into a 3/4-inch-thick disc. Cut out rounds using a 3-inch biscuit cutter; make sure you don't twist the cutter, otherwise you'll squish the sides and the shortcakes won't rise. Knead the scraps together, re-roll and cut out rounds until all the dough has been used.
• Place the rounds, bottom-side up, on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush each with milk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Bake until the tops are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheet.
• With a serrated knife, cut the shortcakes in half horizontally and place on a serving plate. Top the bottom halves with macerated strawberries and whipped cream, and cover with the top halves. Serve immediately.

Add the lemon zest and vanilla and beat the batter on medium-high speed for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan, spread the top evenly and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top sprigs back to the touch, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
• For the filling: Combine the rhubarb with 1/2 cup of the sugar and 1/4 cup water in a medium pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and continue to cook, stirring, until the rhubarb cooks down into a thick puree, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool completely, then fold in half of the strawberries. Stir the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar into the remaining berries.
• For the whipped cream: When ready to assemble the cake, whip the cream with the sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl with a mixer until stiff peaks form.
• Using a serrated knife, slice the cake in half horizontally and place the bottom half on a cake stand or serving plate cut-side up. Spread with 1 cup of the whipped cream, stopping about 1/2 inch from the edge of the cake, then top with the strawberry-rhubarb mixture. Place the second half of the cake cut-side dow, over the strawberry-rhubarb filling and spread the remaining whipped cream over top, going close to the edge of the cake.

• Prepare baking sheet Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut butter into dry ingredients Whisk together flours, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the largest pieces are the size of small peas.
• Mix dough Rub the vanilla seeds into the buttermilk with your fingers (this is the best way to disperse the seeds, but alternatively, you can scrape the bean against the side of the measuring cup with a rubber spatula). Add the buttermilk to the flour mixture, stirring with a fork until most of the ingredients have come together into a moist dough (it's okay if some flour is left on bottom of bowl).
• Form biscuits Turn out dough onto a clean work surface and gather any loose bits together. Press lightly to fully incorporate all the ingredients while patting into a rough rectangle, being careful not to overwork the dough. Fold dough into thirds: Starting with a short end, carefully fold over, then fold the other end over the first.. (The folding adds an extra layering of flakiness to the finished biscuits.) Pat out dough until 1 1/4 inches thick. Using a floured biscuit cutter, cut dough into 2 1/2-inch rounds.
• Bake Preheat oven to 400°F. Place rounds on prepared cookie sheet, about 1 inch apart. Gather together scraps; pat out again, and cut once. Chill 20 minutes. Brush tops with the cream and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake 10 minutes, and rotate sheet. Reduce heat to 375°F, and continue to bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 12 minutes more. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack to cool.

• Prepare rhubarb Wash rhubarb well and dry thoroughly with paper towels (wipe each stalk to remove any grit). Cut crosswise on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces (you should have about 5 cups).
• Make poaching syrup Bring sugar, water, zests, and salt to a boil in a large straight-sided skillet, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add rhubarb, and stir to coat in sugar syrup. (There won't be enough syrup to cover, but the compote will become more liquidy once the fruit starts to release its juices.) Cover and cook over medium-low heat until rhubarb is just tender, about 5 minutes. (Do not overcook; you want most of the rhubarb pieces to hold their shape.)
• Cool Remove from heat and let cool completely, about 1 hour, before using. Compote can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 week.
