INGREDIENTS

  • Dough

    • 🥛 3/4 cup heavy cream
    • 🥚 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
    • 2 cups flour
    • 🧂 2 tablespoons white sugar
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 🧂 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 🧈 6 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • Blueberry Compote

    • 3 cups frozen blueberries
    • 🧂 1/2 cup white sugar
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • Whipped Cream

    • 🥛 1/2 cup heavy cream
    • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2

In a bowl, whisk heavy cream, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Set aside.

3

In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until crumbly.

4

Stir in the cream mixture gently until moistened. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 3/4 inch.

5

Cut biscuits using a round cutter and place them on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.

6

Cool biscuits for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then completely on a wire rack.

7

In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer on medium-low heat, stirring until thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 cup blueberries and cool for 15 minutes.

8

In a bowl, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar to medium peaks (about 3-4 minutes).

9

Split cooled shortcakes horizontally. Spoon half the blueberry compote on the bottom halves, stack the tops, and serve with remaining compote and whipped cream.
