INGREDIENTS
| 1‑3/4 | cups all-purpose flour |
| 1 | tablespoon baking powder |
| 1/8 | teaspoon salt |
| 1/2 | cup cold butter |
| 1/2 | cup milk |
| 1 | teaspoon vanilla |
| 1 | egg |
| 1 | teaspoon water |
| 1 | cup sliced strawberries |
| 1 | cup raspberries |
| 1 | cup blueberries |
| 3 | tablespoons no-sugar-added strawberry pourable fruit* |
| 4 | tablespoons almond-flavored liqueur,** divided |
| 1 | cup whipping cream |
PREPARATION:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk and vanilla; mix just until dry ingredients are moistened. Knead dough gently on lightly floured surface ten times. Roll or pat out to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with 3-inch heart- or round-shaped biscuit cutter; place on ungreased baking sheet. If necessary, reroll scraps of dough in order to make six shortcakes. Beat egg and water in small bowl; brush lightly over dough. Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly on wire rack.
- Meanwhile, combine berries, pourable fruit and 3 tablespoons liqueur; let stand at room temperature 15 minutes. Beat cream with remaining 1 tablespoon liqueur until soft peaks form. Split warm shortcakes; fill with about 2/3 of the berry and whipped cream mixtures. Replace tops of shortcakes; top with remaining berry and whipped cream mixtures.
