How to Make Amazing Strawberry Or Blueberry Shortcake

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in heavy cream until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick circle.
  5. Cut into 6 wedges and place on a baking sheet.
  6. Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. While biscuits bake, combine sliced strawberries (or blueberries or a mix!), lemon juice and sugar in a bowl. Let sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  8. In a separate bowl, beat together mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Stir in optional heavy cream for extra richness.
  9. Once biscuits are cooled slightly, split them in half horizontally.
  10. Spread mascarpone cream on the bottom halves of the biscuits.
  11. Top with macerated berries.
  12. Place the top halves of the biscuits on and dust with powdered sugar (optional).
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy!
