Berry Shortcake Recipe 🍓🍰

[Ungart]

Hey everyone, I want to introduce you to a delightful treat: Berry Shortcake! It’s a sweet, fruity dessert with layers of tender shortcake, juicy berries, and fluffy whipped cream. Perfect for a summer dessert or any time you need a delicious pick-me-up!

Ingredients:

For the Shortcake:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
  345×286
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Berries:

• 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.)
• 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Whipped Cream:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Berries:

• In a bowl, combine the mixed berries with sugar and lemon juice. Toss gently and let sit for at least 15 minutes to macerate.

2. Make the Shortcake:

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut into squares or circles using a biscuit cutter.
• Place the shortcakes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

3. Make the Whipped Cream:

• In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.

4. Assemble the Shortcakes:

• Slice the shortcakes in half horizontally. Spoon some of the macerated berries onto the bottom half, add a dollop of whipped cream, and then top with the other half of the shortcake.
• Garnish with extra berries and a bit more whipped cream if desired.

Enjoy this delicious, fruity dessert that’s perfect for any occasion!

Hey all! I think using a mix of strawberries and raspberries makes the best combo for shortcake! Though, I sometimes sneak in blueberries too.
