Berry Scone Shortcakes

• Fruit
• 4 cups berries (sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or blackberries)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 juice of 1 lemon
• Shortcakes
• 4 cups unbleached white flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 ounces unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup sliced strawberries
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup plain yogurt (not nonfat)
• 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
• 2 cups heavy cream, whipped

1. Slice strawberries, add all berries to a mixing bowl.
2. Stir in lemon juice and two tablespoons granulated sugar. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate for half an hour, stirring occassionally.
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
4. Add flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt to a large mixing bowl. Stir well.
5. Rub in butter until mixture looks like bread crumbs.
6. Stir in beaten egg.
7. Stir in 1/2 cup sliced strawberries.
8. Fold in yogurt to form a wet dough.
9. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. With floured hands, shape the dough into a 1/2 inch high round. Using a 3 inch biscuit cutter, cut out eight shortbreads.
10. Stir lemon zest into turbinado sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle lemon sugar on the top of the shortbreads.
11. Place shortbreads on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes in a preheated 400 degree oven. The shortcakes are ready when a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of the shortcakes comes out clean. Remove from oven and let shortcakes cool on a wire tray for about an hour. If they will not be eaten right away, store the shortcakes in an airtight container.
12. To serve, cut the shortcakes in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves of the cakes on a platter or individual plates. Spoon berries and then cream on each shortcake. Place the top half of the shortcakes on each one. Serve immediately.
