How to make fruit shortcake biscuits
Because this is a biscuit recipe, you’ll want to be sure you start out with super cold butter and buttermilk. Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a medium bowl. Add in cubed butter and cut into the flour using a pastry cutter. Once butter is properly mixed in, it should be the size of a pea. Don’t worry if you have a few bigger pieces in the mix.
Pour the buttermilk into the dry ingredients and butter and mix until just combined. Pour the dough onto a floured surface then knead until the dough comes together. Roll the dough then fold each end into the middle, roll again and repeat this step 3 more times. Roll until you create a rectangle.
Cut the biscuit dough into 9 equal squares. Brush with heavy cream and top with sugar in the raw. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until biscuits are just golden brown.

This raspberry dessert recipe is perfect for all of your spring and summer gatherings. The biscuits and whipped cream can be made the night before and stored in an airtight container. I would toss the raspberries in the sugar a few minutes before serving so they aren’t too mushy.
