Ingredients
1 3/4 cup flour
2 tablespoons sugar, and 2 additional tablespoons
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 stick unsalted sweet butter, chilled
1/2 cup light cream
Topping:
4 cups mixed berries, fresh or frozen, thawed and drained
Whip cream
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Sift flour, sugar, salt and baking powder together into a large bowl. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until mixture resembles peas. Pour in the cream and stir in with a fork until the dough comes together. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about a 1/2 inch thickness. Cut out 3" circles with a cutter or a glass. Repeat process until most of the dough is used.
- Transfer rounds to a greased baking sheet. Sprinkle tops with extra sugar and bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Assemble dessert by slicing biscuits in half and topping with mixed berries. Replace top half and top with more berries. Top with whipped cream
