Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For biscuits
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
1 cup well-shaken buttermilk
For filling
12 oz raspberries (about 3 cups)
6 oz blackberries (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 tablespoons sugar
For cream
1 cup well-chilled heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • Make biscuits:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Blend in butter with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk and stir just until a soft, sticky dough forms.
  • Drop dough in 6 mounds about 2 inches apart on an ungreased large baking sheet and bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer biscuits to a rack and cool to warm, about 10 minutes.
  • Make filling:
  • While biscuits bake, gently mash half of berries with 2 tablespoons sugar in a bowl, then stir in remaining berries.
  • Make cream:
  • Beat cream together with sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until it holds soft peaks.
  • Carefully cut biscuits in half horizontally and arrange 1 bottom half, split side up, on each of 6 plates. Top each with berries, whipped cream, and other half of biscuit.

I made these shortcakes for my family and they loved them! The biscuits were so fluffy and the berries were so fresh and juicy. I'll definitely be making these again.

These shortcakes are the perfect summer dessert. They're light and refreshing, and the berries add a pop of sweetness and color. I love that they're made with buttermilk, which gives them a tender, moist texture.

The biscuits in these shortcakes were a bit dry. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

These shortcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
