    I LOVE this recipe! The cardamon give such a nice and different flavor to the shortcake. I use the Maple Berries mix often for a quick fruit topping for store bought angel food cake and for frozen waffles (no extra syrup needed. I like to mix fresh strawberries and blueberries together to make a nice Red, White & Blue, 4th of July dessert. Top it off with White whipped cream topping. The Maple Berries keep in the refrigerator for about a week, if you don't eat it all in within a couple of days!

    This is just 1 recipe that explains why I bought two of "The Hearty Boys" cookery books.Dan and Steve just never place a collective gaffe on Any recipe I've enjoyed.One thought about Cardamom.It's a strong spice.Please try to locate a shoppe that you can actually Taste first.You may desire to "sub" out Allspice or Cinnamon.Nutmeg? A fabulous baked dessert that Others may ask,"what Bakery did You go to"? That delicious.

    These are the best shortcakes. I have made them several times. The flavor of the cardamom is a great addition to bland shortcakes.My family is finnish and they make Nisu with cardamom so I'm very familiar with cardamom. Using it fresh ground is the way to go. They are a bit on the sweetside but taste great with eggs for breakfast.

    This recipe is perfect with one exception...I sent a email to the "Hearty Boys" to confirm and they sent me a reply that there is an error in the recipe...pat the dough into a 6 inch diameter (not the 12"...otherwise the recipe is correct. I made it and it turned out perfect...I loved the taste of the cardamom.

    I made this for a party at work and everyone wanted the recipe. I used a mixture of berries: raspberries, blueberries and strawberries. When I told them what was in the berry mixture, they couldn't believe it. Some though I had used a liqueur. I had never used cardamon before and the shortbread was delicious! I highly recommend this recipe!

    in my part of the country, 2 cups of flour was not enough to make the right consistency with 1 3/4 cups of heavy cream.
