Use in season berries to make this delicious dessert. Directions
Biscuits:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450° F.
- Whisk
together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Blend in butter with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Add buttermilk and stir just until a soft, sticky dough forms. Add lemon zest.
Drop dough in 6 mounds approximately 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet.
Bake until golden brown, approximately 12-13 minutes.
Transfer biscuits to a rack and cool to warm. Filling:
While biscuits bake, gently mash half of the berries with 2 tablespoons sugar in bowl, then stir in the rest of the berries. Cream:
Beat cream together with sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until it holds soft peaks.
