Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the blueberries and sugar. Set aside to macerate for 10 minutes.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground ginger.
-
Cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined.
-
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
-
Roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness and cut out rounds using a biscuit cutter.
-
Place the rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Allow the shortcakes to cool slightly.
-
To serve, split the shortcakes in half horizontally. Spoon the macerated blueberries onto the bottom half of each shortcake.
-
Top with whipped cream and place the other half of the shortcake on top.
-
Serve immediately.
