Quadruple Berry Shortcake Recipe

We were at a street fair in Pacific Northwest waterfront town a few weeks ago, and found a little place serving strawberry shortcake.  It was amazing!  When we got home, I went to recreate the dessert using whole foods.  I used my 4 Ingredient Biscuit Recipe as a base for this new recipe.

Quadruple Berry Shortcake

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour try 1/2 whole wheat 1/2 white flour if you are transitioning to whole wheat baking. I am using the white whole wheat flour from Trader Joe's.
• 2 t salt
• 2 t baking powder
• 2 1/2 cups plain yogurt or plain Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup butter melted
• 1/4 cup organic sugar we use the evaporated can juice from Costco
• optional 1 T TriMix (1/3 T Wheat Germ, 1/3 T Wheat Bran, 1/3 T Oat Bran)
• optional 1 t ground flax seed
• 2/3 cup blueberries
• 2/3 cup blackberries
• 2/3 cup raspberries
• 2/3 cup strawberries

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Grease baking sheet.
3. Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
4. Make a well with your dry goods.
5. Mix the butter, sugar, and yogurt in a separate mixing bowl.
6. Add the yogurt mixture to the middle of the well and pull the dry ingredients into the yogurt with a fork until everything is moist.
7. Turn dough on a floured surface until it’s no longer sticky. It will be nice, cool and soft.
8. Form dough into a mass with approximately 3/4 inch thickness.
9. Take a glass or cookie cutter to cut out biscuit circles.
10. Place the biscuits on the baking sheet close together.
11. Bake for 10-14 minutes or until biscuits turn golden brown. Stick a toothpick in the biscuits to make sure they are no longer doughy.
12. Optional, top with butter directly out of the oven and sprinkle with additional organic sugar.
13. Top with your mixed-berry mixture (we don't add extra sugar because the berries are sweet: taming the taste buds) and real whipped cream.
14. Store in an airtight container if they don’t get gobbled up first.

The Verdict: We all love shortcake so much!!  My favorite part is the shortcake soaked with the berry sauce.  So yum!!

Do you need another use for your blackberries?
