Berry Ginger Shortcakes

Prep Time: 25 minutes

 

 

Ingredients

 

3 cups fresh berries (sliced strawberries,

blueberries, raspberries, and/or blackberries)

2 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger

1-2/3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

3 tablespoons butter or margarine

1/2 cup buttermilk

1/4 cup refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed or

1 egg

Nonstick cooking spray

1/2 of an 8-ounce container frozen fat-free whipped

dessert topping, thawed

1/4 cup fat-free dairy sour cream

 

Directions:

 

1. In a small bowl combine the berries and the

crystallized ginger. Set aside.

2. Meanwhile, prepare shortcakes. For shortcakes, in a

medium bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder,

and baking soda. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter

or margarine until the mixture resembles coarse

crumbs. Combine buttermilk and egg product or egg. Add

to the flour mixture all at once, stirring just until

mixture is moistened. Lightly coat a baking sheet with

cooking spray; set aside. On a lightly floured surface

pat the dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut the dough

with a floured 2-1/2-inch star-shaped or heart-shaped

cookie cutter or a round biscuit cutter, rerolling

scraps as necessary. Place shortcakes on prepared

baking sheet. Bake in a 425 degree F oven for 8 to 10

minutes or until golden. Cool the shortcakes slightly

on a wire rack.

3. To serve, in a small bowl combine the whipped

topping and sour cream. Split shortcakes in half.

Place bottoms on dessert plates. Divide the berry

mixture among bottoms. Top each with some of the

whipped topping mixture. Replace the shortcake tops.

Makes 10 servings.
