- Mix flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Gradually add cream, tossing with a fork until clumps form. Press clumps into a smooth ball. Shape dough into a 6 inch log. Cut the log into biscuit sized slices and place on an un-greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with remaining 2 teaspoons sugar and bake for 15 minutes or until tops and bottoms are light golden brown. Remove from oven.
- Remove shortcakes to a wire rack and cover with a kitchen towel. Cool at least 10 minutes.
- To serve, horizontally slice biscuits in half with a serrated knife. Put bottom halves on plates and spoon about 1/4 cup berries and juice and 1/4 cup whipped cream over each. Replace tops. Spoon on remaining berries and cream.
