Lemon-Nutmeg Shortcakes With Berries
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Add the cold butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg, lemon zest, nutmeg, and heavy cream.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
-
Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle and use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds. Place the rounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shortcakes are golden brown.
-
While the shortcakes are baking, prepare the berries by washing and slicing them.
-
Once the shortcakes are cooled, split them in half and fill each with a scoop of fresh berries.
-
Dust the tops of the shortcakes with powdered sugar before serving.
