How to Make Berry Cherry Banana Shortcake

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 11x7 inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add the buttermilk and stir with a fork until just combined. The dough will be sticky.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until a ball forms. Add minimal flour as needed.
6. Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
7. Use a 3-inch floured round biscuit cutter to cut out 6 biscuits.
8. Place the biscuits in the prepared baking dish, leaving about 3/4 inch between each.
9. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg wash.
10. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden brown.
11. Let the biscuits cool in the pan for 3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
12. Once cooled, slice the biscuits in half horizontally.
13. Place the bottom halves of the biscuits on dessert plates.
14. Layer the mixed berries, cherries, and bananas evenly over the bottom biscuit halves.
15. Top each shortcake with 1/4 cup of whipped topping or whipped cream and the biscuit top.
16. Serve immediately and enjoy!
