Servings: 6
Ingredients:
4 cups mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries and/or sliced strawberries)
4 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups heavy cream, divided
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 C). Grease a baking sheet. Gently toss the berries with 1 tablespoon sugar and let stand.
2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in 1 cup cream. Using a fork, stir until just blended. Scrape out the dough onto a floured surface; knead gently 8-10 times.
3. Roll the dough 1/2 inch thick. Using a round cutter, cut out 6 biscuits, rerolling the scraps as necessary. Transfer biscuits to the prepared baking sheet and brush tops with 2 tablespoons cream. Sprinkle tops with 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden.
4. Beat the remaining 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cream and 1 tablespoon sugar at high speed until soft peaks form.
5. Using a serrated knife, halve the biscuits horizontally. Place a generous spoonful of berries on each biscuit bottom, then top with whipped cream and biscuit tops.

Tip
Heavy cream will whip faster if you chill the beaters and bowl in the freezer for 15 minutes. Be sure that the cream is thoroughly chilled as well.
