Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. You can do this with a hand mixer or a stand mixer on medium speed.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, corn flour, and baking powder. Make sure the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the flours.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the shortcake dense.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently roll or press the dough out to about 1/2-inch thick.
- Use a biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out your desired shapes for the shortcakes. You can make them round, square, or any shape you prefer.
- Place the shortcake pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The exact baking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of your shortcakes.
- Remove the shortcakes from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, serve the shortcakes with fresh mixed berries on top. You can also add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Don't overmix the dough to keep the shortcake tender.
- For a richer flavor, use unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt.
- Chill the dough for about 15 minutes before baking to help the shortcakes keep their shape.
- Serve the shortcake with freshly whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
With these simple steps and a few tips, you can create a Mixed Berry Shortcake that's both beautiful and delicious. This versatile dessert is perfect for any occasion and can be easily customized with your favorite berries. Enjoy the delightful combination of a buttery shortcake and the sweet-tart flavor of fresh berries in every bite.
