Berry Shortcake
Yield: Makes 6 servings
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:
1.
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.

2.
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.
