Summery Mango Lime Shortcakes Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  • Combine mango, blueberries, and strawberries in a large bowl. Drizzle with lime juice and honey; mix well. Cover; reserve in refrigerator.
  • . Beat cream in the large bowl with an electric mixer. When cream begins to thicken, sprinkle in confectioners' sugar and coconut extract. Whip until soft peaks form. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, white sugar, lime zest, poppy seeds, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the shortening with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat the egg and buttermilk in a small bowl, lightly stir into flour mixture just until moistened. Turn out onto a floured work surface; knead 3 to 4 times, or until dough just comes together. Roll to 1/2 inch thickness; cut with a 3 inch round biscuit cutter. Place on prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake shortcakes in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 to 18 minutes. Allow to cool slightly; split each cake in half horizontally.
  • To assemble, arrange fruit on the bottom half of each cake. Spoon or pipe cream evenly over fruit. Top each with remaining biscuit halves.

    I made this tonight! They were really good, ,I read larkspurs review and did not use the gelatin or water for the cream topping mixture. Instead I used the heavy whipping cream and confectioners sugar (powdered sugar), I also added about 1-2 tablespoon shredded coconut to it! Turned out great. I also didnt have buttermilk for the bread dough part, but a good substitute (I didnt want to run to the store) is fill almost 1 cup of milk add 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice and let set for 5 minutes and then use this as you would in the recipe. I also added 1 extra tablespoon honey. It worked out great!! Thanks for sharing this recipe Larkspur, hopefully I did not make to many changes :)
