Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2/3 cup (160ml) whole milk, cold
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 cups (600g) fresh strawberries, hulled and halved or sliced
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
  2. Cut in cold, cubed unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk cold whole milk with beaten egg and pour into flour mixture; stir gently until just combined.
  4. Turn dough onto a floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
  5. Cut out 8 shortcakes using a 3-inch biscuit cutter and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Combine strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and optional sugar; let macerate for 10-15 minutes.
  8. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  9. Slice shortcakes in half horizontally and arrange bottom halves on a serving board.
  10. Top with macerated berries and a dollop of whipped cream; add top halves or serve open-faced.
  11. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Keep butter and milk cold to ensure fluffy biscuits. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream. Macerate berries with sugar for extra juiciness. Store-bought biscuits can be used as a shortcut but freshly baked are best. Reheat shortcakes in oven to refresh fluffiness.
