Ingredients

Berries

  • 1 pint fresh blueberries
  • 16 oz fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1-2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Sweet Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Shortcake Biscuits

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoons buttermilk, for topping
  • coarse or sparkling sugar, for topping

Equipment

  • Mickey Mouse cookie cutter
  • food processor

Instructions

Berries

  1. Combine the blueberries and strawberries in a small bowl and gently stir in the sugar.
  2. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Shortcake Biscuits

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In the bowl of a food processor, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together. Add the butter and pulse until coarse crumbs form and then transfer to a medium bowl.
  3. Add the buttermilk and stir to combine. The dough will be very crumbly. Transfer to a clean work surface and, using your hands, gently flatten until the dough is about ½ inch thick. Cut into Mickey shapes using a Mickey Mouse cookie cutter. Re-roll scraps if needed.
  4. Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the biscuits with buttermilk and sprinkle with sugar.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes.

Whipped Cream

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla.
  2. Beat on medium-high speed until the cream reaches soft peaks.

Assembly

  1. Place one of the shortcake biscuits on a plate. Add a scoop of whipped cream and a scoop of berries.
