    ❤️ Why you'll love it

    Unique flavor combination: the sweet chewy crystalized ginger in the biscuits nicely compliments the fresh blueberry topping.

    Seasonal dessert: fresh blueberry shortcake is a delicious and different way to enjoy seasonal berries in the summer.

    Healthy option: a recipe packed with healthy nutrients. Antioxidant rich blueberries and inflammation fighting ginger, this is a dessert you can feel good about eating!

    🥘 Ingredients

    Fresh blueberries: look for large plump blueberries.

    Granulated sugar

    Fresh limes

    All-purpose flour

    Baking powder

    Salt

    Unsalted butter

    Candied ginger: this is ginger that has been dried and sweetened.

    Milk

    Large egg: you will only need the egg white, reserve the yolk for another use.

    Coarse sugar: has a larger granule and is idea for topping baked goods.

    Whipped cream: I used pressurized canned whipped topping.

    🔪 Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
    2. Combine blueberries, sugar, and lime juice in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook 3 minutes or until berries begin to pop, stirring frequently. Set aside.
    3. Place flour, baking powder, and salt in a food processor; pulse 3 times to combine. Add butter and ginger to processor; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal.
    4. Transfer flour mixture in a large bowl. Add milk, stirring just until moist. Turn shortcake dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Press into a 7-inch circle and using a sharp knife, cut into 8 wedges. Place wedges 1 inch apart on a baking sheet.
    5. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and 1 tablespoon water. Using a silicone pastry brush, lightly brush tops of wedges with egg white mixture and sprinkle evenly with turbinado sugar.
    6. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
    7. Serve warm topped with blueberry mixture and whipped topping.

    🥄 Equipment

    Mixing bowls

    Mixing spoons

    Baking sheet

    Food processor: can use a pastry blender, it will just take a little longer to make the shortcake.

    Parchment paper: or silicone baking mat

    Chef knife

    Wire cooling rack

    🥫Storage

    Room temperature: store biscuits in an airtight container up to 4 days. Berry topping should be refrigerated only.

    Refrigerate: store blueberry topping in an airtight container up to 4 days.

    Freeze: freeze biscuit and blueberries in separate freezer safe containers up to 3 months.

    Reheat: warm thawed biscuits and blueberry topping in the microwave 10-15 second to remove the chill.

    📖 Variations

    • Add more intense lime flavor by adding lime zest to the blueberry mixture.
    • Substitute blackberries for the blueberries.

    💭 Tips

    • Don't overwork the biscuit dough. Stir until it is just coming together and then fold dough until it takes shape. It should not take much working of the dough to take shape.
