Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
- Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually stir in the milk until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Scoop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

- In another bowl, whip heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Layer the baked biscuits with whipped cream and mixed berries before serving.
Notes
- Customize your shortcake by using seasonal berries or adding lemon juice to the whipped cream for extra zest.
- Store leftovers separately in airtight containers to maintain freshness; reheat biscuits briefly before serving.
