Raspberry Shortcake
- 2 cups raspberries, green parts trimmed off, berries cut into chunks
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- In a bowl, toss the raspberries with 1 tablespoon of the sugar and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the flour, salt, the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar, baking powder, and lemon zest.
- Mix in the whipped cream until the mixture is moistened and just forms a ball.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead briefly just to bring the dough together.
- Form the dough into a log then use a rolling pin to roll it out into a long rectangle about 1-inch thick and 3 inches wide.
- Making diagonal strokes with a sharp knife, cut into 4 or 6 large triangular biscuits.
- Arrange on a sheet pan and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Let cool on a wire rack.
- When ready to serve, split the biscuits in half horizontally.
- Place the bottoms on serving plates.
- On each, place a spoonful of raspberries with the syrup that has collected in the bowl, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkling of brown sugar.
- Place the top halves of the biscuits on top.
- Serve immediately.
